week we're sick, sick
it's not officially winter yet but my little boys have already felt the toll of the season. they both had fever, coughs and colds this week. it started with little SA around wednesday last week, he kept clearing his throat (or at least that's what i though he was trying to do). we didn't get to hear last friday's mass because it was raining too, we didn't want to risk getting them wet. saturday came and we went shopping. while we were in the shop looking at plasmas, deep fyers, xbox games, cabinets and whatever else we felt like looking at, it was weird that SA was very peacefully sleeping in his stroller, so we felt his temperature and we realized he was unusually warm, looks like he he's got a fever now. so, off we went to pay for our purchases and went straight home (by the way, we didn't buy the plasma! :p). at home, we just gave him paracetamol to cool him down, but he was coughing bad and his nose was clogged so he didn't get a good night's sleep (and of course, it goes without saying that everyone else had the same experience that night - and the succeeding nights, as well!), but we had to wait until monday to get an appointment with their doctor. anyways, not long after - that saturday night, actually. big bro FL got hit with the virus, as well. he had fever at night and had coughs and colds too. then came sunday... too bad, the weather was very nice, the sun was out and the sky was clear. it would have been nice to just go out and stay in the park and look at the lake. so, since it was sunday, we had to hear mass. we had no choice but to go solo on this - that is, DH and i will have to take turns. so, today, friday, little SA seems to be over it already, but big bro still gets high fever at night - and at night only! hopefully he doesn't get any tonight so we can attend our christmas parties this weekend. and hopefully, we'll get enough sleep, too! p.s. winter officially starts on december 21st but we're getting temperature as low as zero at dawn, and they say it's the warmest winter in 500 years! geesh!
