Caitlin's Still Sick

Caitlin’s little illness continues...

We made it through the night just fine. There were a couple of runs when she coughed, but the overnight feed stayed down. We went through the normal morning routine, I dropped her off at school, and then I went to Panera to try to get some writing done. It was not to be. The school ended up calling because Caitlin had diarrhea and cramping. It wasn’t pleasant, but it was refreshing to pick her up for a normal childhood illness. There’s no fever or vomiting, so that’s something. Since there is a 24-hour illness-free policy at school, Caitlin will get tomorrow off, too.

She’s currently sitting next to me on the couch watching some Old School Sesame Street from 1972. It kicks the modern stuffs’ butt. That’s right kids, Sesame Street used to be funny. It also wasn’t Elmo-centric. The new stuff is sanitized and boring. And yet, it remains the best show for toddlers on television. Heck, it and South Park are the only shows that regularly show children with severe disabilities.

Hopefully, she will be well enough for ticks or treats tomorrow. She is so excited about her Hermione Granger costume. Every time we tell someone about it, she just gets this big grin.
