House of Ill Repute

Well, our house is ill, anyway. Graham recovered from the nasty fever/cold just in time for Dean to start showing symptoms. He has been sick since late Saturday night with a low fever and congestion like you wouldn't believe. The good news is that he went to the doctor's office on Monday and does not have an ear infection or strep throat. But he's miserable, and he's been keeping Zach and me up most of the night for four nights now. Having a sick three-year-old is a very different proposition than having a sick baby. With a little kid, you may not get very good information ("Does your head hurt?" "You gave me medicine."), but you will get a few answers you can work with. But babies are adorable little mysteries a lot of the time even when they're well. They are infinitely freakier than their big brothers when sick. Wish us a healthy household soon!

More to write about, but Graham is bugging me to let him play Curious George on the computer.

Sorry to hear it! We are both just getting over an illness too. Doesn't sound as scary as all that though. Hope you all feel better soon.
