I am happy to report that Nora is finally back to herself. Today was the best day she has had in weeks. Her appetite is back with a vengeance. She ate more for lunch today than Emma and Ian combined. Unfortunately the sickness left behind a new personality trait. She has turned into a squealer. All of a sudden she shrieks and yells every time she wants something. Her favorite words are “NO, NO, NO” and she yells them every time she isn’t getting her way. I kept hoping that it was just all part of her illnesses, but it looks like the sickness is gone, and the squealing is here to stay.

Ian, on the other hand, is still not doing very well. I took him to the clinic last Friday because he hadn’t been feeling well for a few days. He had a fever, a terrible cough, and was complaining that his ear hurt. It turns out he had an ear infection, bronchitis, and possibly strep throat. He has been on antibiotics for 5 days, but I haven’t seen too much of an improvement. Today I found out one of our friends was diagnosed with Influenza A, and I am wondering if that may be what Ian has too. Today he seemed a tiny bit better, but you can tell he is still sick when you look at his face. His eyes just don’t look good. I am hoping that the next day or so he gets back to himself. We all need to be healthy for Disneyland!
