Yesterday I got a call that Micah had suddenly developed a fever. Rush to pick him up from school, find a ride home for Sam. At 5am, Sam comes into our room with a fever too.
Sam had his "Wax Museum" presentation this morning (each kid did an in-depth biography of a famous person - Sam was Louis Braille - and they did a marvelous job of "being" those people). I had found a babysitter for Micah (and Sofia), and Sam has been working so hard on this project, so I took him in just for that. Then I brought him home, picked up Sofia for PT, raced to the grocery and drug stores while she was there, and then home. Now I'm home with all 3 kids. I left the boys home (with my neighbor on-call) for a few minutes while I drove around so Sofia could go to sleep.
I'm hemming 20 t-shirts for a project at the school (the older two classes are making "tzitzit", ritual fringes, next week).
Philosophical conversation of the week: If I could get a magic cure for just one of the "special needs" in my home, hands-down I would select to "cure" Micah of the food allergies. Sam will figure out how to work with the dyslexia, Sofia is doing just great with her extra chromosome, and neither of those are going to kill them. Food allergies are a major stress!
Nothing much else to report. Best wishes to everyone who is under the weather - and I sure hope David and I (and Sofia) manage to aviod catching whatever the boys have!
