We are now officially living in a sick house. I (Sal) am the only healthy person (apart from the boys’ grandma who’s bravely come to visit the sick house for the weekend). Tracie is sick with a cold/flu type illness. She has aches and pains, cough, runny nose, sore throat, sore eyes, sore ears and a persistent elevated temperature. It went up to 40.3C (104.5F) yesterday and with medication only came down to 39C (102F). She went to the doctor last night who sent her to the hospital. They told her to go home and get some rest, so today Sal has taken the day off work to look after the boys and Tracie is spending the day in bed.
Ethan has started to get a better from his croup. He still has a chesty cough and a wheeze, but he’s happier each day. Unfortunately, Ben started to get sick last night. He got a temperature in the evening and had a very restless night. He woke up crying several times and had a temp throughout the night. He’s been miserable today. He’s vomited (biggest vomit I’ve ever seen all over himself and grandma), had diarrhoea, runny nose, cough and persistent temp around 39-39.5C (102-103F). Ethan also woke with a temp of 39.6 (103F) but he’s been ok after some medicine. Both boys are going back to the doctor this afternoon.
I hope I don't get this rotten bug, and I hope everyone else gets better soon.
