Fevers........

Yes, we're still here..........we're still fighting sickness!
Vernon and Ashleigh caught one of the viruses going around, and today is Day 12 for Vernon. He has had fever pretty much some part of every day, since Friday a week ago. He can wake up without fever, have it back by that night, or start out, and then later feel better. It's so weird! He felt better Monday, Tuesday morning.......but came home with another headache last night. So today he's going back to Student Health to let them check him and see if blood work needs to be done this time.
Ashleigh is on Day 6, technically Day 8 of fevers. She started with fever Tuesday last week, ran fevers for a full 24 hours until Wed. morning. Then went a full 24 hours without, until Thursday afternoon. She hasn't been totally without since. She may have a spell of hours where she's without, but it always comes back. I took her to the doctor's office on Sunday (our pediatrician's office has evening and weekend clinics.....one of the reasons I love that office!) and Dr. Naggar said she expected to find an infected ear, after hearing about her fevers, but she checked out well with her ears, and though her throat was a little red, she was fine. But the fevers puzzled Doc, and she said if she's not better by Tues./Wed. bring her back in to be checked and possibly blood work. So we're going to see how today goes, and we may be back in tomorrow.
The strange part is that Kaylie's not getting it, and neither am I.
One of the ones we've been exposed to has meningitis problems.........one girl from around here is on Week 4 now.

So you can pray for us! I was looking forward to actually getting to go out today and get groceries, etc., until I took Ashleigh's temp again and realized she now has fever. So home we stay.

Hope your day is going well and that your family stays sickness-free!
