It is Definitely Monday!

We'll start with yesterday. Will cut his leg last week while playing with the girls in their backyard. He had no idea what cut him. We washed it off and it barely bled. Well, he wore pants all last week since it was so cool. Yesterday it was finally warm enough for shorts and I saw his cut and it was totally infected! I'm not sure how I didn't notice it since he has a bath every single morning! I feel awful. So, I sent him up to the school nurse who also works at the hospital to have it looked at. She said it was definitely infected and looked like it needed stitches but now that it was infected it was too late for that! Well...I promise it started as a small cut!!!! I called the doctor and they are squeezing him in at 1:45 today to look at it.

This morning Ethan woke up and said his stomach hurt. I offered him some Children's Pepto, but he didn't want it. He had no fever, so off we went to school. He came to my room at 8:30 and said his stomach was hurting and he had just rested in Donna's room because Pamela, his friend, also was sick. (Donna is a 2nd grade teacher and Pamela's mom.) I sent him back to class and told him to go to the nurse if he felt worse later. After seeing Will this morning for his cut, the nurse calls and says that Ethan is up there. She sent him back to my room and he rested on the mat. I sent Ethan to go pick up his lunch from his classroom and while he was gone Noah came into my room and said he couldn't stop shaking and broke into tears the second he saw me. He didn't feel too hot, but I took him up to the nurse to check for a fever just in case. Well, of course he has one! At that point we all just packed up and left school. Now Chris is on his way home to stay with the sick children while I take Will to the doctor, whatever sense that makes! I just took Noah's temperature and it is up to 103.4! He can't stop shaking and is super pale. I'm not even going to bother to ask the doctor to squeeze him in today since they gave me such a hard time about getting Will in today!

Jeepers! Sorry to say this, but your boys make Emmerson's series of illnesses pale. Those poor kids always seem to have something! (And poor you and Chris.)

Yikes! When it rains, it pours! Hope they are all on the mend today, and that you and Chris stay healthy!
