Sick
We interrupt the string of short posts with another short post.
Late Monday night / early Tuesday morning while I was pounding on the keyboard fervently, inputing data for new products for KangarooBoo, I heard cries for help.
I went to Sebastian, our 4.5 yr old’s room, found him literally burning up and coughing badly, with giant tears streaming down his face. He was shaking / seizing, his limbs were kind of noodle’ish and limpy. Couple of minutes later, the thermometer revealed 103.5F. After a dose of Motrin, he started to cool a little bit. 30 minutes later he cried again. He needed Mama to sleep next to him.
At 5 a.m. Fiona woke up and joined us. She rolled in bed while Sebastian continued to sleep until nearly 7a.m. (unheard of, as he’s also a 5-6a.m. riser) and I stuck in the middle. Fortunately I had the foresight of getting a full-size bed for him.
Tuesday - he stayed home from preschool. Still feverish and still coughing.
Today - both kids have preschool today, but both are home. Sebastian doesn’t seem to be too much better, although the fever is under control with Motrin. Fiona is also having low fever and some coughing.

Sorry for the illness. Nothing worse for a kid.
Thanks so much for visiting my site. I’ve done alright blogging daily. The rules for this aren’t as strict as NaBloPoMo - you’re allowed to backfill. I intend to when we’re away at Spring Break.

Hope everyone feels better soon. If you pick up this fever, make sure you see a doctor; fevers are more dangerous for adults. But I am sure you knew that.

Hope you all get better soon. Spring would sure be nice. Maybe all the colds and flus will go away with the snow. There sure has been a lot of sickness this winter. Take care.
