Kristin, I took the 10. It took an hour to get home. Almost exactly an hour, actually. Which is par for the course. But I'm off 26th at work, so it made sense.
Noah is STILL at the doctors office. K took him to his appointment at 1:15. Apparently they were thinking about admitting him to the hospital but they are short staffed so nope. He'll come home and go back tomorrow. They think pneumonia. It's going to be a long night, isn't it?

I don't know yet. I'd assume an antibio. He's still in the office. I had to go to work so K took him. He's been nebulized twice already. And a chest xray and bloodwork. Oddly, we called and got him in today because he had a low fever (3rd or so day of an on/off fever) and his soft spot was protruding.
Sigh.
Maybe investing in duct tape would help too?
I'd counsel against duct tape.... do you all not remember the story (with pictures!) of Laura's boys and the bad idea w/ duct tape?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was kid on kid duct tape. Whole different vibe.
Great. Left leg doing sausage impersonation. Painful sausage impersonation at that.

that was a good call... good of them to get him in too. there's a load of nastiness going around. the antibiotics they put me on in January really did fix things quick. I hope Noah is ok soon. I hope you're able to get more than a few hours of sleep. I'd take the red-eye and spell you guys, but I wouldn't get there in time. And... ... I'd be pretty gronky when I got there.

If I were Nilly, I could nilly the story for you. But I'm someone who has a sink full of dishes and dinner to make and a sick boy to get ready for.

Wow, it looks like I might actually get out of the office at 4:30 (i.e., on time) today.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, poor Noah! I hope he gets better soon, Kat.
I had the best salad evAR just now. Spinach, green onions, red peppers, and a Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burger crumbled over the whole shebang. Nomnomnom. (I graze, and therefore eat at weird times.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor sick Noah!
stop dithering. the answer is yes.
Actually, the answer turned out to be no. So there!
