What a week! Zoe and I both got a terrible stomach bug on Tuesday night, and Lester was already sick with a bad cold and cough, so our whole family was home sick this week. At this point Lester and I are beginning to feel better, but poor Zoe is still pretty sick. I look back at the pictures of her eating blueberries and yogurt, and I feel so sad that she hasn't been able to eat for 3 days now...poor thing! We took her to the doctor yesterday, and they say we are doing a good job keeping her hydrated and that this might last a while longer. They've seen a lot of this bug lately, and it seems to last 4 to 7 days.
Meanwhile, we've got some lovely white snow on the ground and some fresh flakes beginning to fall. We got a few inches yesterday morning, and this next storm is supposed to give us 6-10 more inches. I LOVE the snow! And Solstice is around the corner, so our days will be getting longer again...
In spite of our sickness, I am feeling tremendously grateful - for good friends and family who keep calling to check in on us, for a job with paid sick days, for having the resources and medical support to take such good care of our sick child, for living in this gorgeous winter wonderland...life is good!
