Did I Always Worry So Much?

Ellie came home from school today feeling "yucky" with cough and fever.

Here's hoping it's a QUICK cold. Because staying from from life for a couple of weeks with the H1N1 dealie is just awkward in October. We have 5 big things she really won't want to miss in the next week. Including . . . the Down Syndrome Association Walk in the Park Cardinals game, a reading from a favorite author, a trip to a local farm, a birthday party . . .

Then HER birthday and everything that comes with that. Plus regular things like gymnastics and soccer that we'll all miss. And, oh, slipped onto the bottom of the list like it's unimportant, you know, my fears for her life and health and those of her little sister. That sort of thing.

Three and a half weeks until flu shots!
