Sickies

What a week!

 

We have a boy with a fever, cough, and congestion who is still cutting up and joking about everything. I think he likes that his voice is hoarse. He has been extra loud and saying funny stuff to hear himself talk.

 

 

And we have a pitiful girl with possibly the worse stomach flu I've seen. She has been down since Sunday. She is perking up some today, picking at her brother, and asking for me to polish her nails so she must be on her way to being well again.

 

 

She has missed school all week. Sadly, we had to miss her Thanksgiving feast and today she is missing Community Helper Day. They were supposed to dress up like someone in their community and bring their favorite food to share with the food bank. She would have been an adorable little doctor! She has asked for days to call her teacher. She did talk to her on the phone yesterday and quickly told her, "I threw up SEVEN times!" That was pretty traumatic for her. I think I've told her to drink a hundred times or more each day. So much so that her brother has been saying, "Drink! You are about to throw up again!"

 

We've had a fire going for days, have watched nearly every movie we own, done a lot of laundry, drank a lot of pedialyte and tried toast, applesauce, jello, bananas, cheerios, goldfish....everything! And they've spent a lot of time sleeping on me. I'm trying to soak it up because it isn't often that they will just be still and sit with me.

 

 

 

They must be getting well because they sure are aggravated with each other today!
