What a terrible week it has been. I feel like I am coming out of my fog though-- slowly, but surely... We have all been so sick this week. It started on Wednesday. I was working at a hospital out of town, and I got a call from D's school nurse saying that he had a fever of 103.3. I was shocked because he had been fine that morning. Because I was so far away, I started calling around to see if I could get a friend to pick him up. Fortunately, my friend Annie was available and agreed to pick him up from school for me. Before she even got to the school, though, the nurse called back to say his temp was now 105 and asked for permission to give Motrin! A few minutes later she called back to say his temp was now 106!!! Annie got to the school just about that time and told me that he was really not looking good-- crying and moaning, and not really responding well. I told her to take him to the hospital and I would meet her there. It took me almost 2 hours to get to get there!!! Traffic was terrible. Fortunately, his fever was coming down by the time he got to the hospital. They did chest xrays and a flu test, but that was about it. I wasn't too pleased with our hospital visit.... Sheila picked up the girls for me, and fed them while we were at the hospital.
Thursday, I took poor D to work with me--- he slept most of the day. I began feeling really awful and started running a fever myself. Thursday afternoon, the aftercare program called to say that Big A had a fever as well!! By Friday, my fever was 103, Big A was sick and running a low grade fever, and D was still feeling rough around the edges... We all suffered through a day at work though. I was Miserable. The kids watched movies and slept on their bean bags at the vet hospital. I slept on the xray table between clients... Not a good day at all. By Saturday, the kids were feeling better, but I couldn't even get out of bed. My poor Mom had to come down to take care of the kids because I was so out of it. The entire weekend was pretty much a blur. I'm still coughing up my lungs and extremely congested, but I'm getting better... I really hate to be sick.... Yuck!
