The Sickies

Wednesday night Isaac started getting fussy and didn't sleep well. Thursday he had a fever, the runs, couldn't keep any food down, and was really lethargic, so I called the doctor's office and asked what I should do. They gave me an appointment 20 minutes later, so I took him in and found out he also had ear infections in both ears. Poor kid. He slept a lot that day, and when he was awake he just wanted me to hold him and even sat on my lap and watched half of a movie with me. Highly unusual. Friday morning he was doing quite a bit better, but Walt was down for the count. He stayed home from work. I felt good, so I ran around trying to get a lot done in case I got sick later. In the evening I went to the store to get some sick people food and some movies from the library, then came home and put Isaac down for bed. Walt called someone in the ward to come give him a blessing, and right before they arrived, I started throwing up. So I got a blessing, too! Someone needed to be well enough Saturday to take care of Isaac. Saturday Walt and I took turns feeling good enough to take care of Isaac while the other one slept. Gradually we started feeling better, and I was up and running again in the evening. Walt finally kicked the last of his on Sunday, so we should be good to go now. Whew! It really was a blessing that it happened over the weekend so Walt didn't have to miss too much work and we could rest. I'm so grateful for my normally excellent health!
