This morning Sasha had a fever =again.= I decided that today I would stay home with him because I have the feeling the reason his illness isn't going away is that while he was home unsupervised, he wasn't =resting.= I'm sure he was on the computer all freaking day playing video games, and that isn't good for recovery. For PC games, you're sitting up, you have to concentrate, you get worked up (or Sasha does), and you don't take breaks (or Sasha doesn't.)
So I called in. I dropped the other kids off at school, returned home, and banished Sasha to the couch. He has three choices today: 1) watch TV; 2) read; 3) sleep. He's only allowed off the couch to go to the bathroom or go to bed.
I also made sure he's eating decent food, since he runs to junk when left on his own, and I'm forcing a whole lot of fluids on him.
In between that, I put up more applesauce, got laundry done, gave a bath to Sam the Dog (who rolled in something awful and was smelling up the whole damn house), bleached stains out of the bathtub, mopped the floors, and planned out supper.
