Morning update.
Oct. 28th, 2009 10:40 amAlex woke up at 6am thinking she was going to throw up, but mercifully (a) it was a false alarm, and (b) she went back to sleep for another two hours. No fever this morning, and she's been able to manage about a pint of fluids and a few Ritz crackers. She still looks pretty peaked, though, and I'm not convinced that the fever is going to stay gone.
Poor kid. I hope she's better in time for Halloween parties and trick-or-treating.
Colin is congested and coughing but I don't think he has the flu. Man, are his new teeth (he has one and a half now) freakishly razor-sharp.
Nia-our-nanny is running a fever today too. I am home with the kids. Apparently, yesterday half of Alex's class was out sick. HALF. When I run down my Facebook feed it seems like everyone I know is either sick with the flu, or has kids with the flu, or just got over the flu, or is coming down with the flu. I guess that's what they mean by "pandemic," huh?
In other news, even though I was exhausted last night I broke out my birthday present, Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii. I haven't really played DDR before, so I spent most of my time on the lesson tracks, but even so it was totally fun. And a good workout! I think Michael's going to enjoy playing it too. Alex wanted to play but was totally unable to master the concept.
