Levi is still sick but it isn't really slowing him down. Actually, more honestly, about 75% of the time it isn't slowing him down. The rest of the time he is either due for medicine or has just had it and it still hasn't kicked in yet. His temperature this morning was 104.6 F. He woke several times last night and usually right as the Motrin was wearing off. We had Ty and Steffi today (after warning their mum that Levi was sick), but I'm sure that partially the decision for her was easy as Levi got this illness from Ty originally. You can still see in his eyes that he was only just coping and this was taken right in the middle of his 'good' time. Also two boys came over with their grandmother for some time 'On the Farm'. We took them to the creek and built a fire for them to have a picnic lunch down there. They were very city type boys and they had never had a fire they could just poke around at and a creek to just throw rocks in. They will remember the day for a long time I imagine. It makes me remember how wonderful it is for Levi to grow up in this place, where he can run around barefoot and wield sticks and throw rocks, build towers and sculpt mud. All without feeling like he is doing something wrong and without Someone watching over his shoulder all the time.
I just had to go and do the medicine again. His temperature is better, only 102.4 now. He wanted to switch back into my bed as well. With Ty staying the night, I thought that he might sleep by himself but I think it was a bit much for a sick little boy.
