Sick

Seriously, someone needs to put our house in a bubble. In the past three weeks, here's what we've had:

-Lulu: two 4-day bouts of unexplained high fevers (about 104 degrees)
-Thor: two similar 4-day bouts of unexplained high fevers and one ear infection
- Z (my husband): pneumonia
-Me: bronchial infection (dangerous when on immunosuppressants), stomach flu, and now, a nasty head cold (hopefully won't lead to sinus or bronchial infection again)

The longest we've gone with the whole house being healthy is two days. Two days!! Cursed preschool! We just started Lulu three weeks ago and it's become germ haven around here since!

The bizarre silver lining is that I now have little to no appetite. I feel like soup, and low-cal chicken and veggie soup at that. Of course, it's packed with sodium (sodi-YUM? more like sodi-YUCK! Sorry, that is my lame sense of humor), but hey, better than packing on tons of carbs which is what I would ordinarily do.

Fingers crossed the little ones don't get sick, too. I'd rather a thousand times get sick than to see them get sick, and goodness knows they both have paid their fair share of sick dues the last few weeks.
