Yesterday I kept the kids home from church. They had been coughing quite a bit. Mark went, he was subbing for Ethan's primary teacher. So it was just us. We watched Of Heaven and Home with Grandpa Keller. Then we played WAR. My back was hurting after lunch, so I laid down for a while. And fell asleep. I woke up in perfect time to make dinner and then have family home evening. Cream cheese brownies, yum.
Anyway, I wasn't sure if the girls would be able to go to school today when we went to bed last night. I told them to get up and dressed and then we would see. I figured that getting dressed would get them coughing if they were going to. But when I woke up this morning, late, they were still asleep. Ame woke up when I went in, but she looked half dead. Emma wouldn't wake up. So I went back to bed for almost two hours.
So they have been home all day. And, although they cough a lot, they still have plenty of energy. Especially Emma. Not good energy. She has been a bully to everyone. Making the baby cry, hurting Ame and Ethan. I am going crazy.
She has enough energy to be a beast, she has enough to go back to school. But I worry about her getting other people sick. Or getting worse herself. And Ame is still pretty bad. So do I let them go to school tomorrow? I don't know what to do.
I have had to cancel Activity Days this week. I just don't see the sense in having others come over to get what we have. I am bummed, but it is for the best.
We are running out of medicine and I am running out of patience. And I worry about the kids. I hope this ends soon.
