Molly is just amazing to me. My poor girl is back to being feverish and sick again and yet we had some really profound conversations today as we waited for the doctor to come in and draw blood and check hydration levels. There was a poor little girl in the next room and I had been talking to her about my c-section because she was there to get stitches out of her head and was terrified. She had asked if I had ever needed stitches and so I told her a bit about it and that it really doesn't hurt much - especially when Mom stops at DQ on the way home. Mom agreed to DQ but the girl still asked to see my scar - Uh Oh! I was thinking of a nice answer to this request when Molly piped in calmly, "You really don't want to see the scar because it is hidden by my mom's underwear - ewwww." Picture an appropriately grossed out face on my gorgeous daughter and then, "And you should see the rest of my Mom's tummy - she has 10 scars and they all look ugly and gross." Not exactly what this little one was looking for and certainly not a rousing endorsement for my abdomen but........the girl and her mom got a HUGE chuckle out of it!
Mols woke up with another fever this morning and so I called the doctor as requested. They tested her for the flu and she has it - they aren't sure if she can even go to school on Monday. We are all going a bit stir crazy but Molly was seriously annoyed when we showed up back at the doctor. She did give Dr. Lux a little smile when he cracked a joke but now her cough is driving her nuts! If I watch one more episode of Zack and Cody or Hannah Montana I'm going to end up in a looney bin but the idea id to keep Molly on the couch and stationary for the next few days.
Annie went to bed at 7 p.m. with a slight fever and a runny nose - Is this some kind of sick joke?
No pictures - no remarkable stories - I'm too tired! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and Ann will miraculously escape the worst of this awful cold/flu!
