On the night of his birthday, galagan started feeling a little *off*. Thursday he was just blah all day, and that night felt sicker. Friday he worked all day in bed. Saturday was a lazy day, and he slept a lot. Occasional flashes of fever, but then it would come right back down.

So yesterday we went ahead with our plan for the day, which was to drive to Albany - we did some random driving around (Schenectady is surprisingly attractive in spots), wandered through a mall (look! retail consumerist culture! wow!) and ate at a chain restaurant. The joys (for us) of visiting the relatively-big city. :) It was a really gorgeous day, and I enjoyed myself. (And then I got to see many many people at sylvantechie's birthday gathering! Yay!)

Except we came home, and he felt kind of icky again. And today he looks absolutely *terrible*. His temperature was up to 101.8F a little while ago. He's shaky and looks sort of green. He's got a nasty cough, and winces every time he coughs because his throat hurts so much.

(Me? I have a slight cough - just enough to keep me up at night a bit - but I'm mostly fine. Elena didn't have a fever this morning, but she's eaten hardly anything in the last 2 days - this cold seems to start with a severe loss of appetite - and she crashed hard at naptime, which is unusual. Hopefully she'll follow my line of symptoms rather than his.)

We did call the doctor - his insurance recently switched, so he hasn't been to see this doctor yet, so he's a new patient. They'll see him Wednesday morning. Hopefully his fever will break soon and he'll be all better by then. Poor boo!

ETA: Elena woke up from her nap with a temp of 102, but she seems to feel okay, so she's ensconced on the couch watching "bideos" (she mixes up her Bs and Vs still) - because when you're sick you get to watch as much bad TV as you want! I think she's okay. galagan looks better too.
