The Plague

We're pretty sure Stian and I have swine flu. Mine is very mild (so far), but it's been quite rough on poor little Stian. His fever has been quite high - as high as 104.6. He has a nasty cough and a runny nose. I imagine he also has a sore throat and is achey, but he can't tell us that. He's been miserable. Poor little kid. He does seem to be doing better today, his temp is more like in the 100-101 range. So maybe we are nearing the end. Today is day four. He stayed home from school on Thursday and Friday.

Here he is on Friday - sitting on the sofa drinking juice and watching TV. He almost never gets juice at home, but we wanted him to keep hyrdated. And he never watches TV. Aside from a couple of minutes of a football game once or twice, this is the first time he's actually watched TV. We had already spent hours, literally hours, reading books. So we turned on the TV. He only watched for about 20 minutes before losing interest. But it did give Mommy a short break.
