the sickies

Well, we're all sickies at our house this week.

Eden's on-and-off fever has persisted, and yesterday Graham took her to the doctor for the second time this week so they could start a urine test since she doesn't have anything easily identifiable like an ear infection or strep throat. Now, we're waiting for the results of that test to be in tomorrow and just wiping her runny nose, watching her temp, and giving motrin when she needs it. Here's how we spent over an hour this afternoon while I was straightening up the house and Graham was on campus teaching ...

Doesn't it just melt your heart? Now, don't get too worried (I'm telling myself that too). For the most part, E has been really happy, checking out the camera ...

... and playing around like she did last night before bed time ...

Unfortunately, last night was also the time that Graham started to feel really poorly. He felt even worse this morning, went to campus for a bit to work and teach, and then came home and went straight to bed this afternoon. Says he feels like he has a cold, has the chills and a fever ... the flu? Oh, yuck. I had a slight fever this morning, but now feel lots better. At least there's one semi-healthy person to take care of the other two.

Right now, Eden's temp is normal [thank goodness], and she and Graham are both taking naps in their beds. Looks like this is my window to get some grading done, so I'll sign off now. If you feel like sending good thoughts and get-well vibes our way, we could certainly use them. Here's hoping for a happy, fever-free family when they wake up in a bit.
