Z spiked a really high fever yesterday. It got to 104.3. He's a lot better today, but now we wait for covid test results. It should only be a day or so.
My stepmom is in ICU with a kidney infection that turned into sepsis. She has MS and lives in a snf. She's doing a bit better this morning so hopefully she continues to improve.
We were supposed to drive down to Tx Saturday to visit my family, but who knows now.

Ugh sorry PennyCandyMy kids are home today. My oldest had a sore throat and an elevated temp. She gets strep (even without tonsils) very easily, so doctor appointment this afternoon. Then I think she and maybe the youngest will be required to stay home for a few days because of the new policies at daycare. Work this week should be interesting. |

PennyCandy How are Z and your stepmom doing today? kam3100 Was it strep? At least that's easily treatable.

My sister and her family came to visit over the weekend and her two boys are with my parents this week. It was my aunt's 80th birthday yesterday and my three oldest kids hung out at my parents house to make cupcakes and a giant birthday card for her. My mom and dad made a delicious steak dinner with all the trimming yesterday to celebrate. I hope my aunt felt the love.
I'm the new treasurer of our PTO board so I've been looking into alternate fundraisers for the next year. We're also getting preschool at our school so we're unsure how that's going to impact what we do - having activities appropriate for 3-4 year olds, as well as more teachers to support. We have ten new staff members!

Step mom should be going to a regular room soon so she's improving. She's probably going to be in the hospital a while. She has a kidney stone that they can't break up with surgery until the infection clears up. |

She’s almost 6 and has had it more than 20 times since 9 months old. She had her tonsils out so I’m still in denial every time she says her throat hurts. |

I had strep twice in one month and the teledoc didn't believe me the second time so I had to go to urgent care for antibiotics. I find the symptoms to strep very distinctive so I knew I had it again. Glad you knew what it was so you can get her feeling better ASAP! |

That's great that your stepmom continues to improve as well. Will you be able to go our trip to TX or still too much going on at home? |

If my stepmom is still in the hospital, we won't go. My dad needs to be with her instead of worrying about us. |

We're not going. Covid has also exploded down there and it has become a hotspot in the last week.

Why do kids do this weird stuff to us?? How is your stepmom doing She went back to her nursing home, but only made it a day before being sent back to the hospital. She has pneumonia now with a bunch of fluid on her lungs. She'll be in the hospital at least another week. She's very, very fragile and I'm a bit worried. Thank you for asking. |
