My kids are being everything but cooperative today. They don't like changing from routine and I'm asking them to do that in order to better prepare for whatever COVID19 is going to throw our way. We need to make changes in order to help prevent any kind of illness from taking hold in our house because Gavin has a compromised immune system. I'm really stressed out and trying to gain control over the chaos but the kids just aren't having it. Truthfully, neither of them will or at least shouldn't be going to school in the morning. Elliott's been running a high fever all weekend, with a headache, cough and congestion. Emmett started with a cough last night. I don't know what else to do but keep them home. So…

Elliott's still asleep at 11 AM. I checked on him and he said he was fine. He seems to have slept well and that's good, cause he needs his rest. I haven't checked his temperature yet but he hasn't been coughing or anything like that. I'm hoping that this passes quickly and without incident. Unfortunately, the reality is that these things tend to linger, especially in Elliott's case. It would be great if this was the exception to the rule.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed this morning. Emmett's bouncing off the walls and Elliott is still running a high fever. All things considered, being overwhelmed is okay because I'm continuing to push forward. I spoke with Lizze and apparently, she's sick as well. The kids were with her on Wednesday and Elliott became ill on Thursday evening. The other two seem to be doing fine and I am as well. It could be coincidence though because Lizze and Elliott are presenting very differently. Who the hell knows. Anyway, I'm trying to keep him contained in his room for a bit today. I'd very much like to limit the risks to the rest of us, especially Gavin. I need to get to the grocery store today and work on the house…

Our start to the day has been a bit meh. Elliott and Emmett were both up and moving super early. Emmett wasn't feeling well and I decided to give him a late start, rather than miss the whole day. I got Elliott to school and then spent the next two hours trying to help Emmett. I figured he wasn't actually sick but like Elliott yesterday, he's upset about something and it's causing him distress. I did manage to get him to school by 10:00 AM. So far so good. In a short while, I need to have Gavin to a doctor's appointment. He's still seeing his pediatrician for a number of reasons but I'm going to need to eventually move him to his own PCP but that's a problem for…
