The dreaded mid-day phone call....

Well - we knew the call would come sooner or later. On Friday around 11:30am we received the call from daycare to come pick up Logan as he had just "lost his cookies" (pc way of saying vomited) all over the floor. There was no Kindergarten on Thursday or Friday due to MEA so we invested $29 in daycare for the day Friday....Logan had been talking for weeks about seeing his day-care friends again; and I guess he got to spend 3 hours with them.

He woke up with a little cough but we thought nothing of it. Daycare said his nose started to run about 9:30am and by 11am he was crying, saying his head hurt and was running a fever. Luckily Shawn works from home on Fridays so he was able to get him before round 2 came - all over the couch and family room floor. Did I mention his bucket was at his feet. At least he made it to the bathroom for rounds 3-7; and some additional rounds (we lost count) later that night with Sara.

By Saturday morning he was doing much better, and by Sunday he was wrestling with Carter and eating anything. However he is still running a 101 fever so no school tomorrow. With all the illness' going around I understand why they need to stay home with any fever, but at the same time you just shake your head when they are wrestling, eating pizza, playing soccer and dancing around the house. Logan had a flu shoot several weeks ago for the regular flu so more than likely this is some of the other junk going around - hopefully this will be his case and the rest of the winter will be smooth sailing.

Knock on wood - Carter and the rest of the family are all healthy!
