Go Away Germs!

Our house has been an infirmary. Wow. It all started last Friday. Not this past Friday, but the previous Friday. Mally came home with a fever of 104. She was sick all weekend and had to stay home on Monday. Ryan stayed home with her, then he got sick, with strep! So Tuesday and Wednesday, Ryan and Mally stayed home again. Ryan stayed home all week. His throat had white puss balls all over it. He finally started to feel better, but then Meyer started getting sick. On Saturday, I took Meyer to urgent care and he had a double ear infection and strep. It was Auntie Mandi's party, so the kids were pretty sad about missing it, but they got over it when they found out they could watch TV and movies all day.



Despite waking up to Meyer's bloody ear on Sunday (his ear drum popped), it seemed we were all better. I made everyone's lunches, picked out their clothes (yes, we really are that organized, which is super surprising, I know) and got all ready for the next day.

I woke up this morning, and all systems seemed go. I actually took time to style my hair today. We headed out the door and went to school. I knew something was up when Mally came into my office wearing a sweater, vest, sweatshirt and was shivering. I took her temp, which was 104 and headed out the door, grabbing Meyer while leaving.

You may be asking yourself, how does one leave the house in the morning with a four year old with a fever that high. Doesn't she show any signs? This is Mally, who seems to have quite a high tollorance for pain. Remember the stitches? She amazes the doctors with her giggles after shots.



Needless to say, I did not run 5 days this week and this week isn't looking so good either!
