when it rains, it pours

Friday night, one minute Rachel was outside riding bikes with a friend, and the next minute she was laying on the couch with a 102+ degree fever!  All of a sudden she said, "My head really hurts!" and I felt her forehead, which was burning up.  She's spent the weekend running a fever anywhere from 99.4 to 103.5.  Today's been better, though, so hopefully she's on the mend and won't have to miss school tomorrow.  We'll see.

Then I woke up this morning with a terrible headache.  I get lots of headaches, but I rarely wake up with one, and if I do, I can take something and it goes away.  But not today.  Nothing has touched it.  That's on top of the really bad sore throat I've had since Wednesday.

My husband had a fever several days this week and was first diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia at the urgent care center, but later in the week he went to his doctor, who said it was something viral.

So we're just a picture of health around here....
