#2 has been sick this week. No symptoms to speak of, just a generalized feeling of malaise, then two days ago he developed an evening low grade fever. He is fine and full of energy early in the day, but droops like a wilted flower and heats up in the evening. He also has lost his appetite. I've not given him his AHDH meds during this time to try to bolster his appetite, and I'm pushing fluids to the point of almost forcefully pouring them down his throat. He is in the middle of a growth spurt (he has grown an inch and a half in the last 2 months) and I'm wondering if this isn't a result of that. I think tonight I'm going to make lasagna. It's his favorite food, and hopefully it will entice him to eat a lot. I've also made one of the family's favorite desserts (kind of a pudding pie thing the kids go nuts for) and perhaps with this his calorie intake for the day will be what mine should be for the week!
The kids are having a blast right now going through all their school supplies I bought earlier today. Both boys managed to lose their calculators last year so we have to buy them new ones. Actually I have one they can use, so I won't have to buy two. Now I just need to impress on them the concept of not losing these this year. Hmm, maybe I could buy myself a new TI92-Plus or a Voyage 200 and give my other calculator to them too. If I'm lucky I can find the 92 for under a hundred dollars on e-bay!
