Last Thursday Lucy went to bed and seemed a bit out of it. She woke up with rosy cheeks and a temp of 102.6. The fever got worse as the day went on and it eventually rose to 104.6. We called the doctor who was helpful, but unfortunately told us that there was little we could do other than have Lucy rest, drink lots of fluids, and switch off between motrin and tylenol every 3 hours.
We were thankful for the 3 day weekend to recover and assured each other that she would be back in school on Tuesday. Her fever shot back up on Tuesday morning and then this morning Caroline woke up with a fever too.
Sigh.
I am not sure that both of them will be in school at all this week. Lucy is hopeful and Caroline is doubtful.
Luckily they have been in fairly good spirits, and at times they have had a shocking amount of energy.

I am still waiting for either me or Steve to catch this nasty bug. Of course, I would much rather have us get it than them. I feel like once you become a parent the only way that you are officially sick is if it requires a hospital visit. And even then, I'm not sure that's true.
