the sick day continues!

Well, my fever broke last night. I woke up feeling good as ever this morning, though burning up! After being freezing cold with a fever for over 12 hours, when my fever did break I felt so hot!

Cassie came home from her friends house sick as a dog. She has it too. Barking like a dog and stuffy nose, Fever. I took her to urgent care and while there had them do a strep swab on me as well. We both tested negative. Go figure!

So Miah got sick Tuesday evening. Darrell and I both woke up Thursday feeling a little strange (scratchy throats). Friday Darrell took a fever. He went ahead and drove bus. Saturday morning I woke up feeling a little worse but not too bad. I had to work Saturday. I went to work and was doing well until about 1:30. That is when the fever hit. I was setting there and I got chills. When I got off work we had to run to walmart to get some alka-seltzer (love that stuff). Miah was feeling better by then and wanted to walk around and look at toys. I on the other hand wanted to go home and go to bed. I ran a fever all evening. It ran between 101 and 102. I went to bed fully dressed freezing to death. I woke up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat and burning up. Hallelujah my fever broke! I have been fine most of the day. I still have sinus symptoms, runny/stuffy nose.

I am not sure when Cassie's fever started, but hers is gone now too. The fever with this bug runs about 12 to 18 hours and then it is gone. It lasts just long enough to let you know that you are flesh and blood and anything can happen and leaves just in time for you to enjoy a good day. We are all on the mend now. Will check back in soon!

Laters!
