Day 1623. The boys were up early, and Emmy kept whining that he was hungry. And so we got up early this morning; that had not been my intention on a Sunday morning. At least I slept more last night, waking up with coughing spells less often. After breakfast Randy took the kids downstairs, while I turned my computer on.

Day 1622. What a week it's been! Just over a week ago I started having an eye infection, while the cough I had was getting worse and worse. Then both ears were hurting at different times, and yesterday swallowing started to hurt. The last two nights I barely slept because I coughed all night instead. The cough has been so bad that it's even led to vomiting at times.

Day 1617. Monday is our day at home; except for Sammy going to kindergarten this morning. And today Grandma came at 3 pm and stayed for 2 hours. We hadn't seen her since the middle of December. I joined them downstairs. First she was reading them books, then they wanted to play a Paw Patrol game, so I got one they had received for Christmas.
