Raising King's Kids

Jan. 23, 2008

Sick Day!

Yesterday right after lunch the Duke started having a bad headache and telling me he was freezing.  Well, he had just eaten ice cream and McDonald's and it was really cold outside, so I figured that accounted for the freezing.  I told  him to leave his jacket on (we were doing school work in the library while waiting on the littlest Duke to get off Buster Bus).  I was giving him a spelling test and after every word he would hold his head and cry of it hurting him.... I said it was weird how it hurt after every word!  He has 40 spelling words so you can imagine how stopping after each word could get bothersome and prolong the test a great deal.  I was doing my best to be patient though because this child has never faked an illness before so I had no real reason to suspect he would this time.  After the test I felt of him and he was very warm.  I had him put his head down on the table while I did spelling with the Princess and he fell asleep! Ok, now I knew he really wasn't feeling well!  He was also complaining of a sore throat.  So, we made a Dr. appt.  and he tested positive for Strep Throat!  He still runs a fever even with the motrin, his head hurts, and his throat still hurts!  I'm praying the antibiotic will kick in soon and he'll start feeling better.

About Me

Welcome, I'm Fru Astrida. I hear you asking now, "Why Fru Astrida?" Well, just let me tell you. With my oldest I am reading The Little Duke, a story about Richard the Fearless. It was common practice then for "young princes to be put under the care of some trusty vassal, instead of being brought up at home." Fru Astrida and her family were chosen because they could speak the Old Norweigan tounge which many had forgotten. In church one Sunday I realized that like Fru Astrida I too have been charged with bringing up 3 of THE KING's children! Wow what a responsibility! I feel so blessed to be able to raise these 3 precious ones. So that is why I am Fru Astrida and this blog is titled what it is. This blog will hopefully serve to document some of the invaluable memories we are creating, keep family members connected to our lives, and just clear my mind of some of the mindless clutter that can often collect there. <big grin>
