Elena's been generally pretty healthy, save for a couple brief there-and-gone fevers way last fall. She got through the entire winter, spring, and most of the summer without getting sick at all. I suspect that's due in large part to not being substantially exposed to other kids and their disease of the week. It might also be due to having a beefed up immune system from living with other kids 24/7 for two years.
Whatever the reason, we've avoided a lot of childhood illnesses, until just this week. Elena woke up Monday night, throwing up and with a high fever. She had a pretty rough couple hours until her stomach settled and the Advil took effect, but she eventually dropped back off to sleep. However, the low-grade fever has stuck around, and that means her eye surgery, originally scheduled for tomorrow, will have to wait. So now it's all the way into mid-September.
