Carlson Update

So sickness has been going around our house. It started with Mirian, she got a cold. Then when it seemed she was about over it, she came down with 102.2 temperature and the cold got worse, and on a Saturday at that. Since all doctor's offices were closed, we took her to the E.R. We waited in our room for about an hour. Luckily, Russ' brother Dave (who's a pediatrician) had to see patients and he stopped in to see us while we were waiting. Dave doesn't see family for obvious reasons, but does help on "what to do's". He asked a few questions just to make sure it wasn't too serious. Then the Doc came in and checked Mirian. All was fine, we just had to control the temp with some Tylenol and he said the cold should pass within 7-10 days.

In the meantime, Em came down with the cold and has felt miserable for the last three days. And yesterday Russ started getting the sore throat and is starting to come down with it. Water has been consumed constantly in our home the past few days. WOW do we ever have to go to the bathroom frequently!!!

We are just hoping to all be better by next Saturday when we leave for San Diego!!!

Just for kicks, here is a family photo for you to enjoy.
