The good news is that Emmett seems to be feeling a little better but he's in a foul mood.
The bad news is that Elliott is getting worse but at least he's in a decent mood.
Elliott will start day three of his antibiotics in the morning. He's still got two days left to go. We're supposed to hear about the results of the test that determines if he has Whooping Cough or not before the end of the weekend.
The end of the weekend is upon us and we still haven't heard anything.
I'm not sure what we're going to be doing for this coming school week. Tuesday is the last day before Thanksgiving break and we're not looking to push the envelope but we're also not looking to keep the boys home for no reason either.
Elliott is absolutely miserable and I can't see him improving enough by Monday, to return. He's still running a fever as well.
Emmett could be good to return on Monday. He's getting anxious about makeup work and he wants to go back. We'll have to see how he's doing. He's still been running a low grade fever off and on. That could mean nothing (assuming it's related to his fever disorder) or it could mean that he's still fighting something off.
What may end up being best is to give them the long break to recover but also go and get some of their makeup work. That will keep them from getting further behind. Neither of them are actually behind because they're pretty far ahead already but there is in class work that needs to be made up.
Lizze and I have been sorta talking about it. Thanksgiving is only a few days away and there's illness floating around the school. We may just write the week off and give them the entire time to recover.
I guess this is more about Emmett because Elliott will likely still be too sick to go.
I hate making these kinds of decisions because there's no clear answer as to what's right. These guys have been pretty sick for awhile now and rushing them back, probably isn't the best thing.
These are excused absenses as well so that's not a huge deal.
Anyway, we're going to focus on getting everyone to eat and stay hydrated for now. Both the boys are struggling with that at the moment. That's usually a sign they aren't feeling well.
Thankfully, I got them both to sleep. Their diffuser is running and the room smells like eucalyptus. It's helping a bit with Elliott's cough and that's good.
Have a great night everyone..
