sick kids

what do you do with the boo hoo baby? that is what I ask myself when I have a sick kid. you know they act like they are dying and need to be waited on hand and foot. they need to have their needs met before anything else is done. well when you have 5 children and one is sick it makes it hard to get things done and take care of them.
I would have to say that this school year I have been very lucky, I haven't had to miss much work or deal with to many sick kids. we had strep throat so I had to take Willie to the doctor. but other then that they all have been pretty healthly.
we were so lucky that no one else got it even after toad got home and took a big drink out of willies drink.
Toad was outside playing yesterday it was nice and he is the type of kid that would live outside if he could. When he came in and said he wanted to rest I knew something was wrong. at supper he wouldn't eat then went and laid down. I checked his temp 102.0 he took some meds and was out like a light. there was no waking him up. at 11pm it was 101.8 and at 3 it was 100. so we went down this morning it is 99.9 so hopefully we are on a mend. He is now watching a movie which he never does that he is playing farm or outside riding his bike so maybe we still have some mending to do. wish me luck with the sick toad!
