Life in the Desert - Still Sick

Still Sick

Well, she is still sick. She spent most of today laying on the couch. She figured out at about 7:00 tonight that she wasn't going to make her Apple ipod event tomorrow. It isn't a question of if we will let her go, it is the fact that she not capable of standing for any length of time. She is totally zonked. We are keeping the fever at 101.x with the tylenol, but it goes up to 104.x after 4-5 hours. She commented today that this was the sickest she has ever been. It sure sounds like flu to me. It is an unforgetable experience and you definitely feel sick.

So far no one else in our house has any symptoms of anything. This is good. Brad is home until everyone in the house is fever-free for 24 hours without medicine. His work has decided that all employees can work from home if there is flu around. I don't mind. It is nice to have back up. I am hoping to go grocery shopping tomorrow. We need more tylenol and something for folks who aren't sick to eat.
