Wednesday: sick

Well, everyone was some degree of sick today.  It was nice that it mostly waited until after vacation, but still annoying.  I feel weird telling school the kids are still not going to be there after we just took a vacation...but it was definitely the right choice.

Isaac probably ended up being the most sick.  He wasn't doing all that well before school, but just complaining about being tired and we did get in very late last night.  He finally had a fever right before we left.  It was a low fever, but still a fever.  He proceeded to sleep for the next three hours.  He woke up for a bit, came down with a migraine, and then slept for two more hours.  He was doing well right before bed, but the medicine would have just been starting to wear off.

Joshua was the loudest.  He's had a cough the last few days that seemed to start all of this.  He also woke up in the morning and was doing poorly, but had a temperature right away.  Some ibuprofen quickly cured him.  Unfortunately, he did have a temp of 101F later in the day so he won't be going to school tomorrow.  He was doing ok at bed time.

Ben wasn't feeling great also with a very low fever and a headache.  He went to bed early and wasn't feeling well.

I've probably been the best out of everyone.  I was achy on and off throughout the day.  I ended up taking a five to ten minute nap after dinner and it really seemed to snap me out of it.  (Possibly combined with some ibuprofen, but that really should have kicked in quite a bit earlier.)

Here's hoping tomorrow goes better!  As a whole it wasn't terrible today, but it's hard when no one is feeling well.

Not a great way to come home from vacation! Glad some of you are improving... Hope everyone is back to 100% after this weekend!
