There's a virus among us

This past Monday when I arrived home from work Caleb informed me that he wasn't feeling well.  He slept most of Tuesday and Wednesday he seemed to be feeling better.  He ate very little all week and even lost 7-8 pounds.  Thursday he informed that his throat hurt.  I didn't want to play pass the strep around all weekend so I called the doctor and she fit us in Friday morning.  Friday morning I woke up with Caleb feeling somewhat better and the girls feeling lousy.  We all trooped off to the doctor's office.  She tested Caleb and it isn't strep, but some virus that has been going around Coshocton County.  She told us that it has been taking the patients she has dealt with over a week to kick this bug.  I pray that they feel better soon.

Here is Lydia curled up in the chair giving her body a chance to fight this bug.  Her temp is 102.6 as of the last reading...she feels pretty miserable.  Notice that she has found comfort in her faithful companion.  Today we entered Maia's picture in a local store's (Buehlers) Cutest Pet contest. Each picture is given a bucket in which customers can vote by putting money.  The picture with the most money wins.  All of the money raised goes to Relay for Life.   

Josie is feeling pretty crummy, too.  Her fever is 103.6.  She has been asleep most of the day...she even fell asleep on the way home from the doctor.  Notice that she has sought comfort under her daddy quilt.  Somehow I knew she would go straight for that quilt.  : )
