We are 3 days from Alysa's surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids. And of course she got sick. She has a stomach virus and a fever. I was told if she has a fever surgery will be cancelled (a cold would not necessarily cancel it). I wasn't told how close to the surgery it has to be to have an impact. I can hope she will be well enough by Wednesday, but I won't hold my breath. And I figure, the way things tend to happen, if she's OK for surgery, I will be the one sick which would put me at staying home.

Oh and to make matters worse, she got sick at the bowling alley. And not just there, but all over me. Her and I were both covered. What a pleasant experience that was! Please let this pass quickly and with minimal collateral damage for the rest of us in this house...
