Mama Bird Down

The Mama Bird has been sick for two days now...in-bed-all-day sick. Not sure what she has but likely a complication from the Thrush because her throat is swollen and painful. She spent Thursday morning on her own dealing with Urgent Care and the pharmacy. On Friday we had already planned to take a vacation day, so Ted was able to take Julie to Urgent Care again for some stronger pain relief. So she has been laid up in bed but gathering the energy to nurse Clara and read Joe his bed time stories, though in a hoarse whisper. Meanwhile, Joe and Clara have been happy and mostly healthy. Clara is always crawling somewhere, today at pickup she was found under the exersaucer at daycare, and Joe had a big welt on his forehead - so they are exploring their boundaries!
