Christopher was sick and miserable all week. Actually, city of Clemson had a boil water advisory on Thursday and Friday, and they closed his school Friday (because they couldn't provide adequate handwashing), so that made having him home Friday easier to take. Last night was miserable, and I finally melted down from being stuck in the house practially glued to Christopher since Sunday. I slept in his room because he was waking up a couple times a night, and so it has literally been only at an hour at a time that I have been in a separate room from him. I pretty much thought he was going to be sick for the rest of our natural lives... but his fever was finally gone this morning. He was cranky and fussy, but I finally told him that we've been being extra nice because he was sick, but he had to start being happy again. He mostly has.
Needless to say, I'm very glad he's on the mend. I think it was the 100% juice flavor-ices that cured him. He had about 5-7 a day the last couple days. It was the only way to get fluids into him.
However, John asked for his temperature to be taken this morning, and it slowly went up from 99.7 to currently 101. Sigh. Round two. I hope he is not as sick as Christopher was. Also, Tony's classes are over, so hopefully I can get to the gym this week, and not be stuck in the house so much.
Thanks to Miss Kerri for the race track. The boys had fun with it!

Ooohhh, slot cars! I love slot cars. Almost failed a semester at UT because of slot cars...
There was a water main break in Anderson that affected Clemson, the university, and a couple of surrounding towns (I hesitate to refer to them as 'suburbs' of Clemson). -Tony
Hands off my slot cars Pa! Ok, you can borrow it...
Wow! What a tough week! I would have had a melt down earlier than that, Juliet, so pat yourself on the back. And you blogged. Double points.
I hope everyone feels better soon!
