I'm Not Complaining
much.
But last night marks a full week that we've been dealing with this sickness, and it's wearing us. The Duke woke up about midnight and his tylenol had worn off, and his fever was over 103. He was pitiful. The fever accompanying this bug is a TOUGH one. It immediately comes back in between doses, and it just ravages their little bodies. I am hoping today will be a turning point for the Duke, though. Czarina and HeroBoy have the lingering cough and congestion that seems to follow, but they are recovering. Yesterday was their first completely fever-free day. They even got to play outside for an hour, and they aren't so peakish looking anymore. Still a little weak, they get tired easily, but I can tell they're recovering.
So far Chipmunk isn't displaying any signs of it. If he doesn't get it, I'm going to be (happily, joyfully, thankfully) surprised. But before everybody got sick, we were our usual kissy-huggy-germ-sharing selves. So we'll see. I'm praying that he doesn't get it. My heart breaks when the babies get sick like that.
In other news, HeroBoy fell out of his chair this morning, and busted his chin wide open. -sigh- It's pretty bad, but I steri-stripped it, and figured that's probably all they'd do at the ER. Maybe they'd put two or three stitches in, but I think what I did will suffice. He's a boy, it's under his chin and hidden from view, and I can't bear to look at the inside of the ER twice in one week! So, Dr. Mom to the rescue. I always second guess myself later, though... I do hope it'll be okay.
Anyway, that's what's up around here. In between tending sick folks, I did manage to catch up on laundry. The rest of the house is a wreck, though. It's driving me crazy! I absolutely MUST mop my kitchen and dining room floors today, or I will perish. And I'm not being dramatic here, people. I simply cannot coexist with such sticky floors. One of us has to go. So, I'm gonna go get on that, because I love my family and want to stay in this dimension a little longer. I leave you all to keep the internet going while I'm absent. I miss you guys! I am coming back, once we get everybody well, so save my seat. Seriously. Put your jacket there or something so nobody takes it.
Mkay.
Have a good one, everybody!

Oh girl! Sticky, yucky, crumby floors are my BIGGEST pet peeve! I feel your pain.
I hope everyone has a swift recovery!

A - We call 'em crunchy floors. Shivers me timbers.
B - I had to google "steri-stripped." Good to know.
c - Fevers are the scariest in my book. I'll be praying for you and your babies as well.

I have this teeeeeeeeeeeensy little dog I could bring over to your house... Minnie could clean that floor in no time flat...

Somehow I don't think that would assuage my need for cleanliness! Thanks for offering though. Maybe if you attached little Shaklee cleaning sponges to her feet, I could put her to use!

So sorry to hear that everyone has been sick. Sending healing prayers your way. I think it has been said that every boy in their life has had a busted chin. Thanks for the support for my blog. Get Well Soon!
