Sick Day

Olive woke us up early this morning with a fever. For the past few days we thought she was fake coughing but this morning the cough was very real. The doctor told us not to take her to urgent care. I was not looking forward to waiting for three hours for them to do nothing. We stripped her down to her diaper, put a wet cloth on her head and gave her some Tylenol. We finally all went back to bed. Elyse called in sick so we all get to spend the day together. Luckily Olive is like me when she’s sick on not like Elyse. When I’m sick I want to be left alone. I might ask for a few favors but for the most part I am quite easy to take care of. When Elyse is sick...she becomes the “demander in chief.”
