Juma's been having a fever now and then over the past few days, but it's been pretty low and hasn't interfered with him playing or going to school. But this morning he woke up with a temperature of 102 degrees, so we kept him home. He's been on antibiotics since Sunday night, because he's had a cough that isn't clearing up.
Luckily since we're students our schedules are flexible enough to switch off taking care of him. Justin's off to class this morning, so I'm home; this afternoon I've got class, so Justin'll be home. But that does mean we have to miss out on some homework time. I've got a short presentation to give at 1:30, and I didn't even pick a topic until yesterday. I have to then turn that short presentation into a 20-page paper by Monday. While still attending the rest of my classes, taking care of a sick kid (he'll have to stay home until he's fever-free for 24 hours), attending meetings, working, yadda yadda.
At least this is the last week of classes. Next week is reading week, and I have 6 papers due between Monday and Friday. The next week is finals week, but at least I'll be done before then. That's especially important since Juma's school is closed during finals week.
