We've been passing cooties all around our house. It started with Laszlo about 2 weeks ago. Turned out he had strep. Then Ella had the vomit/diarrhea virus. Lily has had major boogers and a cough. I had a belly thing for a few days that prevented me from really eating. Ella finally got better and has been eating us out of house and home for the last 2 days. Laszlo finished his antibiotics.
At 3 am today Laszlo woke up screaming. He said he had a nightmare that we all left him. Then he started asking me if his head grew because his head felt gigantic. I took him back to his room and touched his back. FIRE. I gave him Motrin and some Triaminic nighttime stuff to get him to sleep. He's still sleeping. I didn't actually take his temperature because I knew it was very high and I knew I'd freak out if I actually saw the number. I'm praying when he wakes up that it's lower.
Clearly no school for him today, possibly tomorrow...which means Ella can't go to her favorite class today (unless I can somehow guilt my mother into coming over to watch him while I take Ella).
The good news is that I have a ton of cleaning and laundry to do, so I can certainly keep busy in the house today. And it's insanely cold, I'm sitting in my usual spot by the window and the cold is just coming through and freezing my bones.
Cooties, be gone!
