Sickies

Once again we have the Sickies at our house. Kyler started out with a fever and croaky throat on Wednesday. He seems just fine during the day, but his fever (low grade) comes back in the evening and he wakes up a lot at night. He has a really cute hoarse voice though! He seems to be on the upside if he can just get rid of that wracking cough. This morning he tried to convince me that he was still feeling a "little bit yucky" so that he could watch a movie in his room. Nice try.

Then there is Rissa. Poor girl! It is SO obvious when she is not feeling well. She just shuts down.

She has been in bed almost non-stop since Saturday with symptoms similar to Ky's, only with a persistant fever and she won't talk, unless it is one word sentences. It's almost as if she doesn't like how her croaky voice sounds, so she avoids talking altogether. She knocks on her wall when she wants something. She is just so pitiful and mellow when she is sick. We are keeping a close eye on her breathing and have her on her stronger inhaler.

Let's hope the sickies end here. There's only one person in this family who tops Rissa in pitiful sickie, and we don't want to go there.
