Kalyn is sick

Yesterday, around 10:30 am, the school nurse calls my cellphone while I am at work and tells me that Kalyn has thrown up and is running a low grade temp, I have to come get her. So I quickly put away everything I am doing, make sure the other co-workers are okay and dash out the door. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the school from the hospital. When I get to school to check Kalyn out, she is sitting in a chair, pale as a sheet with dark circles under her eyes, and a garbage can by her side. She has not thrown up anymore. I think it was probably sinus drainage anyway, the best she can describe it to me. But, she doesn't feel well at all. She laid around all evening, covered with a blanket. She slept ok, but despite multiple doses of Tylenol and Ibuprofen to bring her fever down , her temp this morning was 104.0. I am pushing Gatorade and Sprite. We are gonna try to make it til Monday morning and take her to the doctor. Please pray for her. She has planned a playdate with a classmate for this afternoon and will be terribly upset if I cancel it. But I really don't see a way around it. She is scheduled to perform in a drama at church Sunday morning. She loves doing drama and will be greatly disappointed if we can't go. So please pray that she feels better quickly.
