COVID Update

Lena wasn't terribly sick all day yesterday, but by bedtime she felt hot to the touch and was starting to feel slightly nauseated and chilled. A search of the medicine cabinets turned up none of those new-fangled electronic thermometers and no children's Tylenol, nailing us as totally unprepared grandparents. We did find an old mercury thermometer, which read 102. Yikes, that's an actual full-fledged fever! So Olin was sent out to an all-night pharmacy for Tylenol, which seemed to help. I worried about Lena all night, but she slept soundly after the Tylenol and woke up cheerful and energetic. She still has a little cough and feels a little warm, but not enough to even bother with Tylenol. I think she is on the mend. 


Amber tested positive this morning, and Harris is clearly sick. Amber is still pretty perky, but Harris clearly feels miserable. Olin and Leo feel fine. Leo had a great time all morning, playing with trains and doing a Sisyphus routine with an exercise ball he liberated from the attic.
