Goodness! The last few weeks have been barftastic! I don't know if you can say it started with Kate - Jan 5th but hers was the first barf of the winter season. My poor sweet Alice, she's been hit the hardest. She's had a fever and diarrhea and she's been barfing on and off for three weeks. I actually broke down and took Alice to the doctor. Poor Alice had a fever that day and felt so miserable, but it was comforting that the doctor didn't see anything more serious than a virus. Fiona also had a fever and barfed three times, and has had a cough. All three girls barfed on the 31st. I'm hoping that everyone is officially on the mend. I'm hoping that we leave the barf behind us in January. This past week I took four days and only went to school once. Today is a P.A. day so at least I'm not missing more time with my students.
Alice could possible have gone back today, or yesterday for that matter, but I've been so nervous to send her back, because each time I send her back she ends up sick again. The girls were mostly all better yesterday so we played home-school and had a fun day.
The girls felt well enough to go to swimming last night, and it was good to get out of the house.
This is today. After watching them fall asleep I was glad that I kept them home, well Fiona and Alice, Kate decided that she was well enough to go back. Sick kids make life complicated because both Ken and I work, it feels exhausting trying to balance work and home sometimes. It is however an excellent reminder to me that for the most part my kids are so healthy, and for this I am so grateful!
