On the mend

This week was spent with both kids sick and I had a sore throat. Spencer was on steroids (he calls it hyper juice) and Evie just felt yucky. We took Evie in to the doctor on Wednesday but she only had some fluid in her ears. Thursday night she had another fever . She was complaining that her neck hurt from the swollen lymph nodes. Friday morning I couldn't get her off the couch even once the drugs brought her fever back down. So, the doctor decided to call in a prescription so she wouldn't get exposed to more germs at the office. It must've been bacterial, because she felt tons better within about 8 hours.

Poor Spencer though. Yesterday he was so bored he decided to sharpen pencils to pass the time. That didn't last long. He's so hopped up he just can't control his energy level and Evie needed a lot of snuggling.

But now everyone is on the mend. Alan is back from his weeklong business trip so I'm not alone with the sickies. Hopefully we'll all get some sleep and feel back to normal soon.
