After the party, Jane helped to clean up and vacuum but then we fairly quickly went to bed. It was only about 8.30 at night but Levi and I were both exhausted. By midnight I woke shivering with fever and had to get up and have a shower to bring my temperature down. Levi was coughing incessantly in the bedroom and finally he too got up. It was a nightmare. He couldn't sleep lying down because he felt like he couldn't breathe. I think that when he lay down he coughed. So there we are at midnight, snuggled up on the sofa, both pathetically sick. I am hoping that we haven't given it to anyone at the party but I am guessing that likely we have done just that. I had thought we were over it but I guess not!
After a couple of hours I went back to bed but Levi stayed up a little longer. How much longer, I don't know, but when I woke up at about 8am he was sleeping beside me, breathing like a racehorse, but sleeping. He wouldn't wake until 10am, so somewhere in there we got some sleep. Now Levi is lying listlessly beside me again. I can just hope that there is enough time between now and Friday to get well enough!
