Oh these kids…
Gerritt was sick last week- fever and cold and aches… I thought maybe it was the flu but it seemed to go away pretty quickly. A couple days after the fever- or maybe it was at the same time- his legs started hurting- he limped around for three days. This past Saturday Jake and Josh got fevers. Now this morning at 5 Jake comes in our room and says- Dad, my legs hurt when I walk. Josh woke up saying the same thing. Weird.
WHY CAN’T WE GET HEALTHY IN THIS HOUSE? I had a doctor appointment this morning that I canceled in case I’m about to get the flu- according to WebMD you are contagious the day before you get symptoms. And according to the same website- kids can be contagious 10 to 14 days after onset of the flu. WHAT? No wonder the flu flies through schools like wildfire. Gerritt is in school today- is he contagious still? I don’t know- but he’s not missing school- they actually keep track in first grade and he can’t get an award at the end of the year that he is working hard on if he is absent more than 9 times.
So- that’s what’s going on here- bunch of sickos. Grrr….
