Sickness

Jalen has been sick this week and has missed 2 days of school so far. He has fever of 101, sore throat, runny nose, cough and wheeze, chills. The doctor today says it is just a cold...no strep. She did not do a flu test. Why, I don't know. He is getting better, though, and has some more energy tonight. We've been doing nebs every 4 to 6 hours, including at night, to stave off the asthma.

I did tell Jalen yesterday that he got sick because his body is fighting so hard against the food he has been ingesting that it couldn't fight off the virus that came in. I hope he takes heed and changes his ways today.

Unfortunately, now I feel sick! Swollen glands, fatigue, and intermittent shut-down of sinuses (it feels like they just slam shut for a few minutes and I get dizzy until I can blow my nose and relieve the pressure). I've been sleeping a lot and drinking grape juice w/vitamin C to stave it off all week. I think I'll be okay, but time will tell.
