Sick Day take 2

You spend hours teaching your kids to share and then sometimes wish they wouldn't! Blaire's fever started on Tuesday and has been off and on since then. She also has a nice hacking cough to go with it... as if a fever weren't enough. Paige still isn't feeling that great after 4 days - she's coughing and has a runny nose and watery eyes. We have started using some Dimetapp so they can sleep/breath better, but we're using it sparingly.

I'm praying fervently that both girls get over their colds/fevers before I fly to Germany on Sunday. And I'm praying that nobody else gets it. Duncan had a touch of it on Tuesday, but was able to sleep it off (for once in his life).

Sick Day

I really hate it when my kids are sick. I feel so bad for them that they have to deal with that, but we are slowly getting to the stage where they can tell me how they feel and understand why they need to rest.

Today is one of those days. Paige has a fever and is resting a LOT. Thankfully there isn't a stomach bug involved, so the fever is quite manageable - she is even eating fine, so we may be able to flush it out of her system rather quickly. I don't give a lot of meds - unless they are miserable - as I feel it makes them feel too good and then they do too much and don't rest.
