I tell you, it is one of the strangest disease progressions I've ever suffered through.
FIRST you get the headache (which struck me as a regular headache exacerbated by sinus problems, not a full sinus headache, if that makes sense), THEN you get the fever and lethargy. The fever lasts about two, three days, and on the second day your legs ache (but the headache lets up) and THEN, a day or so after the fever goes away, THEN you get the sore throat and congested cough. And I would've expected the coughing to come right at the start, really. This disease was very poorly designed.
Still, the girls were all better and ready to go to school today. The very worst part of young children being sick is that they get better just in time for you to fall ill. And they're so tired of being sick and tired that it's hard to keep them relatively contained when you're in no position to really watch them.
