This time it's the other twin.
It never fails, especially this time of year. It's like the boys play musical sickness. One will be sick for a week or so, and then the next a week later, and the next a week after that. This time that probably isn't the case, as Xander had an ear infection and I don't think those are contagious.
This time Sawyer is the one down for the count. He started not feeling well last Friday, when the twins were already out of school for teacher work days. Low-grade fever, lack of motion or energy, lack of vocalizations. He didn't feel well again on Saturday, passing on the fun activities of Saturday (see below). Sunday he wasn't completely himself, but the fever was gone and he was eating and drinking again. It's like a phantom illness that comes and goes. And it's really annoying.
This morning he seemed fine. He was eating, drinking and playing as usual in the sun room. When I pulled out the twins' backpacks and said time for school, he came running. He climbed willingly into Daddy's truck (I was trying to catch up on a freelance work project) and off they went.
The phone call came just after lunch. Seems he had fallen asleep about 10 minutes after he got there, slept until noon, and then passed on lunch. Lunch that included popcorn chicken and rolls - his favorite school lunch ever. Yeah, that's when they knew he wasn't feeling well. The fever that had been gone since Saturday was also back.
Fun times.
