Illness.

We've been sick.

8 days is a long time for a little boy to be getting sick, even if it's only during the night. Missing taiko and having to cancel lots of plans = not great. Missing school and having to decline babysitting are unfortunate and inconvenient. But what do I do to help my little boy feel better? Be better?

I'm still making monthly payments on the shots he needed to go to school. I have no insurance. And what can you do for a virus, anyway? So...do I take him to a doctor?

Today lunch was chicken soup with stars and toast. I feel ridiculous. His appetite has been normal. I gave him a vitamin. I've changed the sheets, cleaned the bathroom almost constantly, opened the windows....

Josh and I had it, for about 6 hours each. Abbie had it for about four days. How do I make it leave Grant alone? I'm about one step away from burning incense.
