I took my then-4-year-old boy in for what looked like the world's worst case of pinkeye once and found out he had pneumonia. Poor guy.<BR/><BR/>If she has already had the flu for over a week, it is shed already. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>And did you read her the story of the little boy who cried wolf? I'm always telling my daughter that if she is going to wail and moan over every little thing, there's no way we'll know when she is truly sick.<BR/><BR/>She doesn't listen, though.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-57144923188630513662008-03-07T16:10:00.000-07:002008-03-07T16:10:00.000-07:00Thanks for the well wishes, everyone!

Aieee! it's just that it's um...a very popular disease and Caitlin is um...very popular and you're both...um...copycats!<BR/><BR/>Personally? I have a theory as to how she got it: she hasn't been drinking ANYTHING at breakfast time and then doesn't drink the water we send with her to school. So when she's thirsty, the only water she gets is from the water fountain, which is never going to be enough AND it is totally covered in the germs from all of the other germy kids.<BR/><BR/>At least that's my theory and I'm stickin' with it.Woman with a Hatchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539793554273012568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-5794762673755555172008-03-06T20:06:00.000-07:002008-03-06T20:06:00.000-07:00Oliver has the flu too!!

It was at the 103 fever mark (after four days in a row of fever) that I became convinced she must see the doctor immediately.<BR/><BR/>So far the rest of our family has escaped it. (Knocking on a GIGANTIC piece of wood) I just have a nasty ugly cold. Which is better than five days of fever and ick. I think.<BR/><BR/>Hope she feels better soon and hope the rest of you escape the ick.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053954608332662629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-62946313475065888792008-03-06T16:39:00.000-07:002008-03-06T16:39:00.000-07:00Thanks Jennifer.

(My son is nothing like that...he's quiet and stoic and just hangs out on the sofa)<BR/><BR/>I know that feeling of wanting to tear your hair out when they're sick.And not believing them sometimes. I posted about that a while ago. My daughter was complaining of not feeling well (after I thought we were all healthy after the flu) and I told her the whining was over, everyone was well, and that she needed to stop complaining. She left the room, and I found her 15 minutes later, sound asleep on the sofa with a 102.5 fever.<BR/><BR/>That's some darn good mothering right there. <BR/><BR/>Hope she feels better soon.Jennifer Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16239563357592230711noreply@blogger.com
