IT

I think they unofficially have it. It's almost like admitting something immoral or the results of some socially unacceptable behavior.

My kids and my husband are running fevers that don't give a lick about what medication is used to keep them down. They have headaches that come and go ranging from eye pain to sore necks. The nausea has no rhyme or reason and who can forget that seal barking cough? I should mention these symptoms apply to all but Old Iron Guts Azure, who is fighting it quite stoically. I think she thinks she can will most of it away. Although she is having greater success in recovering than the others, she is actually the most amuzing when her fever starts to rise.

Only Parker is in the watch 'em carefully group and he seems to be getting the snot knocked out of him, but still holding his own. Still no real signs to see a doctor yet. But I promise to watch him closely.

I need to go make phone calls to the coaches and start the morning medication round.

  1. I so hear you. We had that last week (only L did not get any of it). One difference it sounded like we swallowed dogs, not seals. W had a migraine last night and Jeremy's headache was beyond help. Not even RX drugs helped either one of them. I even ended up with the lowgrade fever. No dr visists for us, it lasted about 4 days for each of us. TONS of powdered vitamin c and tylonal is what we lived on! Hope you all start feeling better soon.

  2. I'm debating whether of not we should try to get IT now or risk avoiding IT now and contracting IT later, after IT mutates...
