Lea already had her part of the current influenza wave and was nice enough to safe some for her sister. As of last night Sarah is officially ill.
She is running an unusually high fever that not even the medicine we are to give her can do much about. She is whiny , clingy and easily bored or annoyed, which is a complete contrast to her usual self. The paediatrician told us not to worry too much, it was most likely just a normal flue - inconvenient, but a usual visitor this time of year.
Now, the funny thing is that my parents-in-law went to their doctor after we called them this morning to ask advice for us. And their doc actually GAVE advice.
To me that's a little weird, I mean, how can he propose a treatment without having seen the patient?
Anyway, it was sweet of them to ask, even though it proved to me again that they have still not accepted us as grown-ups. Believe it or not, I can take my kids to see their paediatrician when they are ill.
