Sick and afflicted...

Emily is sick today. Last night (during our class) apparently she felt like she'd throw up, so she went to bed early and without eating anything. But first she wrote me a letter asking if she could stay home and to please not wake her.

Besides that, Marky is home. No nurse available to take him to school. But that's not all...

So the culture in his ears grew...(imagine a bone chilling scream when you read this part)... MRSA. So yesterday they called to tell me that this morning they would be calling in prescriptions for it. And they did. But in the meantime, he developed either pink eye or conjuctivitis. So first I had to find out what the Rx's were (from the pharmacy) then call the pediatricians office and see if those would cure the conjuctivitis or if we needed a different med. She had to ask the doctor and get back to me. By the end of the day Dave brought home 3 new meds for all our ailments.

By late morning Emily was awake and starving. She's better now.

At bedtime the nurse asked if Marky would be going to school Thursday...with MRSA? I didn't think to ask the doctor, but since he has the pink eye. The answer is no. He'll be home again tomorrow. ARG!
