Flu

I don't like being sick, especially on the hottest day of the year so far! But it seems that the stomach flu made an appearance last week first with me, and a few days later, Jeff and the boys. Ethan has been going up to a trace the last few times he has been sick, and this is no exception. Today, I saw foam/bubbles in the toilet, long after he had gone. Which is not a good sign, it means there is protein. So I casually asked him to let me know, the next time he had to go, I would like to test him. I have not been testing him every day, but every few days. Which is a big step for me!!! Not long after, Ethan came to tell me that he went in the cup and tested it himself. "He told me he was a trace, but don't worry Mom, it is because I have been sick." I had to smile, kids are so just matter of fact about these things. So unconcerned about the future, only the here and now. I was able to breath a big sigh of relief, if only for another day we have been blessed with this gift of health!
