Attack of the early summer virus
Turns out we were right about Daughter. She was sick.
After her late wake-up, she sported an intermittent fever for part of the day Monday. We let her have a lazy day (read: watch way too much TV) as not to run her down.
Wife took her to the pediatrician on Tuesday for a throat swab since she'd been talking like Harvey Fierstein for most of the weekend. The culture was negative, so we got the answer that every parent loves to get at the doctor's office: there's nothing wrong with your child, now go pay your copay and have a nice day.
Anyhow, all seems to be pretty well now. Son seems to have caught whatever funk it was that Daughter had, but I think we're on the tail end of it. We should be in good shape for the weekend.

Glad to hear that it wasn't worse, and that everyone is on the mend. :-)
UUGHH...Susannah had a raging fever...On Tuesday she had a - strep test. More raging fever...Then comlaints of back, neck, and head pain...after having a newborn with meningitis, we freaked out, took her back to the dr on Thursday, where we shocked to learn the she, in fact, had strep. And gave it to her cousin. Whose parents are moving TOMORROW from GA to CA. (Kids are moving next week). What a great week!
I hope Daughter gets better soon. No one likes to see their little ones sick.
