Still On the Mend

Just when we thought we were getting better, illness has kept its grip on our household. The kids were dealing with a pretty nasty flu over the past few weeks and I'm thankful that they're feeling better but now mom is sick. Total bummer. It's unusual for her to get sick in the first place, but unlike me who whines and complains, she just bears down and deals with it. This time around, however, she has been bed-ridden for a couple of days and she really doesn't feel well. Her symptoms are similar to what the kids had, which includes chills and aches and a fever that seems to last several days.

To aggravate the situation we had to go away for the weekend for N's hockey tournament, so A was left alone to take care of mom. She did a stand-up job and I'm proud of her, but we still want mom to feel better. We'll just keep taking care of her until she feels better, which hopefully will be soon. We shall see.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Matt Haggerty for the pic.
