Sam and Bran and Ella and Anna

Anna doesn't want anyone right now, Ella's at school, Sam's at work - this feels crazy. I feel like I should be cleaning house and organizing and getting things together and I totally am not doing because I really don't feel like it.

I was thinking earlier today that there was a time in my life when I stayed up until 1, 2, 3 in the morning and got up 9 or 10 and was perfectly fine with it - that was my old normal a couple (or more(?)) of years back... I think the age is catching up with me.

No word from the dr. yet, she did say later this afternoon, unfortunately I am not terribly patient.



Go-Bags - you know when you watch FBI shows they have a 'go-bag' to be ready to leave town at a moment's notice? Well, that is like us, only it is nothing quite so cool as FBI. We do need go-bags in our cars, one for each of us and one for Anna because we never know when we'll have to head out and possibly stay at the hospital. Last night Anna's temperature was steadily rising after we came home from the hospital and rising rapidly. We checked every fifteen minutes and it was creeping up, creeping up. 97.9, 98.3, 98.9, 99.6, 99.9 and it hit 100.5. 101 is the limit - that means call the doctors and tell them we are on the way now. It probably means she has an infection and will need to be hospitalized. It hit 100.5 and Sam and I decided that it was finally time to pack our bags and be ready. I checked 15 minutes later and it was 99.4! Phew!!! So, we are spending our day at home. She was crying this morning because she didn't want to have to go to the doctor's office today. I cannot begin to tell you how relieved she was when I told her no appointments today. :)
