And we're back

It's been a crazy past couple of weeks here at the Lau's residence. Two weeks ago, Josie ended up sick again. She had a bout of what's known as hand/foot/mouth disease. It's a viral thing that causes blisters, fever, and loss of appetite. Jen had to keep her home all week and we were told that Josie wasn't allowed to return to daycare until her fever and blisters went away.

In usual Josie fashion, being sick meant round the clock attention (yes more than the usual amount.) Mommie took the day shift, and I took the night shift. She wouldn't eat much and she couldn't sleep for more than an hour without waking up, drenched in sweat. It was important for her to get her rest and stay hydrated so that meant staying up with her throughout the night to feed her and put her back to sleep.

Eventually though it did work itself out of her system. By the end of the week she was back to her normal self. It was really good timing because we ended up having a great time at the Corn Roast.
