The infirmary

Tuesday night Melissa started vomitting. It was so sad! We brought her into our room and she threw up a few more times. She had a pretty rough night.

Wednesday were her school pictures, I brought her in to take the pictures (keeping her far away from the other kids!) and then brought her home...

After getting settled with Melissa, the school nurse called. The teacher's assistant had noticed Greg wasn't acting like his usual self and wasn't eating, so she brought him to the nurse. Sure enough, he had a temperature...I went and picked him up. Wednesday night was rough for him...he slept in the spot sick Melissa had occupied the night before and threw up several times. At one point he had crawled into our bed and then threw on the bed...we cleaned it all up and he was so sweet...he told Dale "dad, I am sorry for throwing up all over your bed." we didn't get much sleep. this morning David mentioned his tummy and his head were hurting...I kept him home with the other two.

This afternoon the nurse called. Alex had come in from recess with an upset tummy and a headache. (no fever)She sent him to lunch to see if eating would help. She called back a few hours later...he is still not doing well...only 45 minutes til school is out, I can't go get him with all the other kids home, so he decided to go back to class and put his head down...he came home and picked his spot in the infirmary and we set him up with some entertainment...

Shawn doesn't get sick...ever..he takes after me...if we get this bug it will probably be an hour long headache and thats it...he is sympathizing with his siblings by watching TV with them or playing computer games with them...and smokey just loves the fact that all the kids are laying around...he is going from spot to spot sleeping next to each kid....

It is sorta like a mini vacation. I actually love having them around, but it is so sad to see them not feeling well.
