Slow Sunday

So we're all at home today. Right now Mindy and Parker are asleep and Jack is sleeping between me and Cole on the sofa and purring with gusto. Mindy has a hacking cough, and Cole had a well-publicized case of pneumonia this week.

Cole told us at about 3 on Tuesday that he wanted to take a nap. He woke up screaming a few hours later. He barfed a couple of times and slept poorly. He told us his right sie was hurting. We were afraid it was appendicitis, so we took him to his doctor on Wednesday morning. They told us to take him to the pediatric ER. They quickly determined it was pneumonia and then ran a whole boatload of other tests (wouldn't you if you got paid by the test and were worried about some crackpot suing you?). Once the painkillers started to work he started to act like himself again. After four hours they let us out. He fell asleep on the way home and when I got home from school at 10:30 he was wide awake eating chicken nuggets. There is no sign that he was ever ill. He coughs occasionally and tells us how much he doesn't like his medicine.

Parker is learning shapes and Cole has his assessment for speech therapy preschool tomorrow.
