Illness

This week started out as busy but Ali caught a cold and we kept her home from school on Tuesday. It was a disruption in plans but it was good for Ali to catch up on sleep and it was nice for me to have a day of doing nothing (although I was sad to miss out on my friend teaching sushi making!). Wednesday it seemed the rest and extra sleep had cured Ali. She had a great nights sleep and woke up on Wednesday her happy chatty silly self. We were happy that she was better and sent her to school. She apparently did fine all morning and then started to crash around lunchtime. By the time I got to school to pick her up she had a fever. My planned parent/teacher conferences had to be canceled and I brought the kids home. Ali (and therefore, me) had a long night last night. She was coughing quite a bit and when the meds wore off her fever would shoot up. I have kept her home from school today just so she can rest since her fever is gone this morning. I'm hoping her fever stays gone and doesn't show up around 2pm when I will have to start getting her ready to pick up Sofia.
