2 Hot Heads - revised post

*Less than 4 hours after this posting, Daniel was home from school with a fever. It's a party around here! Did everyone get their invites?*

Rebekah broke out with a fever last night. So far, she hasn't wanted to get out of bed. It would be the best for all of us, if she stayed there. If she decides later that she wants to get up, I'll have a very heavy little girl wanting constant attention.

She'll have to fight for time with Joseph who, though still without a fever, is miserable in his own way. His decreased appetite has forced me to start pumping. I am mastitis-shy since getting it so bad when Leah was an infant.

Nathan is still coughing just as bad as when he first got sick. I hope he doesn't try for round 2. If any of them do, it will be him.

Daniel went to school despite a cough and an attempt to stay home. School gets out early. Maybe he can find someone to share his germs with. Maybe he can find the family that gave it to Nathan and give it back! I hope he doesn't call for me to come get him. I don't want to load 4 sick kids into the car.

Leah is still only mildly ill. So I can't blame her crankiness on that, yet!

Three down, two to go

We have had some sick kids. Nathan slept for two whole days (Thurs. and Fri.) and still has sick eyes today...but he still went to school. He has been coughing and running a fever. I got a glimpse up his nose while we were at church yesterday. It looked like honeycomb. YUCK! So then Joseph started coughing on Saturday. *sigh* That was the one I was hoping would be spared. Today is Rebekah's turn to start coughing. It's the wet, raspy coughing. It caused Joseph to fill my lap and the recliner in a nice mucus/milk mixture. We both have new clothes on and it's not even 10 AM. Now we wait and see if Daniel and Leah join in the fun. Let's hope that Mommy and Daddy can skip this one.
