I'll begin this entry by sharing that Lizze and I spent the afternoon together. It was really nice to have some time to ourselves. We had a great lunch and got some Christmas things done.  While we were out, Gavin spent some time with my Mom and had a blast.  Unfortunately, that's where the good news end and the bad news begins. As of the time of writing (12:30am 12/02/16), four of the five of us are getting sick. Gavin's the only one without any symptoms and that's likely the result of his twice a week IVIG infusions.  The rest of us are in various stages of getting sick with Elliott by far the worst.  We're all impacted by this in different ways.Emmett is dealing with a bad headache, while…

The boys went to school this morning but ended up still not feeling well and the school called for us to pick them up early from the after-school program.   Emmett has a headache and Elliott's throat is sore. Both boys look unwell and frankly, my throat hurts badly as well. The only ones not showing signs of being sick are Lizze and Gavin.  We've already decided to just keep them home tomorrow because they clearly aren't doing so well.  I think it will be a pajama day and everyone will just rest and get better.   There's apparently something going around the school and we hit the jackpot twice...  Yay us....

It was a really rough night for me but Lizze took care of everything this morning and sent me to bed.  Both the boys made it to school. We weren't sure how that was going to play out.  We were supposed to be in Cleveland but Lizze rescheduled it because I was too exhausted to make the drive.   I'm feeling much better and Gavin is at Grandma's, so we're going to try and take care of any Christmas shopping that we can, while we can.   While we're on a mission, this will also be like having time to ourselves.  I'm feeling really positive about today.... ☺
