School: Day 3

Day 2 was a big success with both girls and myself there all day. The new job is going well and the office is really busy with all of the back-to-school forms, supply fees, milk and lunch orders, etc. all coming in. Dean didn't have it so good as yesterday he had his surgery scheduled. They wound up removing both his gall bladder and his appendix and he was home last night - doing well but very uncomfortable.

Day 3 dawned as a "playing-it-by-ear day." He wanted me to go to school but I wasn't thrilled about leaving him alone. Well, not alone because his mom wanted to come over, but we were all trying to figure things out. Leave it to Molly to solve the problem. A 103.7 fever brought her perfect attendance career to a screeching halt. Sound familiar? So she wound up home today, with Grandma and Daddy. So our day looked like this:


Brenna



Molly


Daddy
(he wouldn't let me take his picture but he's feeling better.
He keeps getting the hiccups though which are tough
when you have a lot of abdominal pain.)

Molly's fever still hasn't broken but her pediatrician said it's not her ears and, though her throat looks red, it probably isn't strep. So she's earned another day off tomorrow and we'll take the weekend to get both of our patients better and hope next week brings better luck!

Here we go again!

Hope Molly feels better. No fun being sick so early in the school year, but what Deja Vu for her to be out Sept 6 and Brenna last year on Sept 5.

Glad to hear Dean is feeling better. Did you ever pick up her cell phone off the floor? LOL.

Oh, poor Molly... she looks miserable. Hope she feels well soon.
