Well two days into the school year and we have our first sickness of the school year. Sarah came home from school last Thursday complaining she didn't feel well. In fact she had a fever. But she also had a football game to cheer for, so she took some Tylenol and went to the game. Friday she went to school without telling me that she wasn't feeling well again, so by the time she got home Friday night she was in rough shape.
Sarah spent all weekend under a blanket either on the couch or in bed going from feeling ok, to feeling bad and having a fever. By Sunday night she was supposedly feeling better, but Monday when it was time to get ready for school, she had a 101° temperature again, so she stayed home. I decided to call the doctor to make sure she didn't have strep, or some other sort of infection, and luckily he said it was just a virus (and not the West Nile kind), and as soon as she was fever free she could go back to school (which just happened to be today).
And it was a good thing that she did feel better today because today was cheer pictures for the year, and if she wasn't feeling better, she wouldn't have been in the pictures. The bad part is that now both Kris and I are feeling a little bit ill. I am taking a ton of vitamin C to hopefully stave this off, because neither Kris, nor I can afford to get sick.
