The Plague

Here's what 2013 has looked like so far:

Aidan caught a stomach bug Friday morning. Daniel had a hunting trip lined up for the weekend (and was going to drop Avery off in Crawford with Grandpa and Nanna), so they went as planned because I figured Aidan would be fine and would bounce back in time for his first basketball game on Saturday afternoon. Wrong! Our mommy/son weekend turned into a sickfest. It was rough not having Daniel around, but really great to have Avery at her grandparents' (she stayed healthy and had a great time!). After several hospital/doctor visits and three missed days of school, Aidan is still too weak to eat, and he got so dehydrated I finally had to take him to Children's Hospital to get an IV of fluids, per his pediatrician's suggestion. I'm sending him to school tomorrow and just having him sit out from recess and P.E. As a bonus, Avery decided to get sick last night so she didn't get to go to school today either. 2013 can only get better from here, right?
