My emotions today -- He was OK the first part of the day, but got fussy & lethargic as the day wore on. But he didn't seem to have a fever so I didn't call you. I kept the pull-up on just in case, but he didn't have a bowel movement.

niknotes -- Mick had coughed once or twice Friday morning before catching the bus, but he didn't seem sick until Friday night when he seemed to have a fever but would NOT (will not ever) let me take his temperature with the digital ear thermometer which reads in under two seconds. He wouldn't take medicine either until he woke up at 4:00 a.m. (Saturday) feeling awful. I gave him Tylenol and wiped his head with alcohol (actually witch hazel) on cotton balls. That seemed to help him pretty quickly, and he fell back asleep and slept until 1:00 in the afternoon. Poor angel boy. He hasn't run a temperature again and seems to be improving, so I sent him to school on the bus this morning. But I did put him in a Pull-up because he had such an upset stomach yesterday that he had an accident in the car on the way to Granny's. I thought from his pitiful cry that he was about to throw up -- I recognized the sound of that cry, which had preceded the two times he vomited in the car. Ooh, nobody wants these details, do you? Sorry. Anyway, that's why he wore a Pull-up to school, mostly for the bus ride. I'm glad it was unnecessary.

(note about the new subject line) -- I have altered the subject line a little to facilitate saving my e-mail messages as .htm files for use on our new family website. It's not finished, yet. Maybe they never are, really, but I hope to add a few more things to ours before we invite everybody to view it. If you just want to see it in progress, you are welcome to check out www.dullaghan.net and add it to your Favorites, by all means!! ha ha I'll archive the Jack and Mick reports on the site -- have links for each report of the last two weeks already on there, actually. But I'll also post photos of ours and any you care to e-mail to me. Once it's going and consistently updated, some of you may wish to receive only a brief notice with link to www.dullaghan.net instead of all the text by e-mail, unless you save the Jack and Mick reports in your computer. Then it's easier to just keep the e-mail, but the files can, in fact, be saved from the webpage. So I'll be happy to set that up, when the time comes and if any of you would prefer that. Give it some thought. :)
