Well, well, well...Miss Emily has tonsillitis! Her tonsils were so swollen it was blocking much of her airway. She's been coughing til she throws up for a while now. Her fever has stayed below 100.2 and she is still able to drink fluids so that is good.
Here is the problem....if Josiah gets sick it can be 10X worse than Emi, and his surgery would have to be put off for 4-6 weeks! He is fussy, I checked his temperature to find he has a fever of 99.9. He is always below 98.6!
My mother in law wants to take Emily to her house so she does not spread this highly contagious illness to her little brother. She adores "meanmas" house, where she has her own bedroom and gobs and gobs of toys! Mommy misses her :( I enjoyed having her home last night and loving on her but I am so afraid of what this could do to Josiah.
No one can take Josiah to get him out of these contagious elements though, because of all of his equipment. So, off to grandma's Emily will go. She is a good caretaker and I know Emily will be just fine, but theres nothing like "mommy guilt"
Dear Lord; please let this all pass, leaving behind no broken spirits!
