On The Mend

I'm keeping Lauryn home from school again today.  I think she's finally getting over the fever though.  When she got up from her very long nap yesterday, it was up again and then starting to go back down by the time she went  to bed.  I checked a few minutes ago and it's at 100.5.  She seems to understand a little better why it's important to stay home from school when your sick.  The first time, she got quite upset about it and it broke my heart.  This morning when she asked if she was going to go to school today and I had to tell her that she needed to stay home but maybe she could go tomorrow, she said, "Ok.  Sometimes my friends at school have to stay home when they're sick too."  Today will be a major cleaning/disinfecting day.  Luckily, Lucas hasn't gotten a fever.  Just a little cough with a little bit of a runny nose.  Keeping Lauryn from him and getting right in his face has been hard!  She just loves her baby brother and she gets a little sad when I tell her she can't give him kisses.  That's heartbreaking too!  Hopefully we're getting back on the right track, getting us all healthy, and she'll be able to love up to him again soon!
