5.19: Plagued
Owen has had a nasty cold all week. Aside from being a little more mercurial, a few incidents of nighttime fussiness and a horrible cough, he hasn't been too much affected. I sort of feel like this was a best case illness scenario.
A less ideal scenario is unfolding with Jamie. We're supposed to visit family this weekend in Houston, a non-Christmas Christmas visit. Unfortunately, Jamie came from home today looking wilted and complaining of a sore throat. The Man took her temperature before he drugged her, and naturally she had escalated to a fever.
Frankly, it's a miracle we're ever all healthy a the same time. I mean, I have three children, two of whom attend a germ-laden public school. And then there's me, who used to be a fairly healthy person, but now I have three children, two of whom attend a germ-laden public school. And then there's whatever The Man brings home from work, which usually leaves him unaffected but takes me down. I send them cakes and banana bread, they send me back The Plague.
Now we're left with a dilemma: Cancel our trip altogether, or divide and conquer?
