On Saturday, Natalie came home from a friends with a fever. At one point it was just under 104. It had gone down quite a bit by Monday, but was still over 100, so I kept her home from school on Tuesday. Tuesday morning she ended up throwing up several times, so I'm glad I kept her home!!! Because of that, even though she was feeling better, I kept her home yesterday too. At 1:45 I got a call from the school because Ethan was in the nurses office with a "low-grade fever" and complaining that his head hurt. By the time I went over to get him, brought him home, and he got some pj's on his fever was already up to 102.6. Then he started throwing up. He's been going at it ever sense. I was up with him at least four times last night, poor guy. This morning he has only thrown up once, and I'm hoping he'll be able to keep the Ritz crackers down that he is currently eating. This is the first sick day he's had this school year. And boy has it knocked him out! Last night I had to run into Omaha, and while I was gone he passed out on the couch while Roby was playing video games. You can tell Ethan doesn't feel well if he falls asleep while video games are on! (Bowl is in case of sudden vomit urges.)
I hate seeing my kids not feel well, and I'm hoping that his fever will go down soon!!! (If nothing else so that I don't have to call in "sick" to work three days in a row! ugh)

Oh poor little guy, he looks miserable. I hope he feels better and that Nat does too. Please tell me you and Roby having come down with anything. I hope you do not. The memories of our sick family are not good ones.
You probably already know this but avoid juice and milk. If only I was told this at the beginning of our issues maybe Baby A would have gotten better a lot sooner. Who knows?
