Wretched, awful, horrible week. I got the flu last Sunday morning—fever all day, up to over 102, which broke that night but left me with an awful headache on Monday. Finally Monday evening that went away and I felt great, marvelous, wonderful! I even changed the sheets on the bed, I was so sure I was done with whatever I’d fought off. Then a hour or so before going to bed I got a little cough—and got barely no sleep that night for coughing. Tuesday woke up with horrible congestion, and I did not start feeling like myself until yesterday (Saturday).
Dale was lovely, getting up and making Jonathan’s lunches and doing everything by himself in the mornings (usually we do it together) to get him off to school, and he also took care of Kayleigh. She was thrilled to spend so much time with her daddy, either just playing or in his arms or out on a walk with him.
Unfortunately now Dale has something in his throat (he’s got a dr.’s appt this afternoon), and Kayleigh herself is not all that well—congestion, mainly. Hopefully she’ll get better soon. Jonathan has remained unscathed so far.
NOT the kind of household we wanted to have to welcome Joy and Brian with tomorrow!

Thank heavens some reinforcements are coming.
