Sickday Haiku

February 4th, 2007 by Atomictumor

Poor Pigpen is sick
He got a fever last night
And puked in his bed

He’s a trooper tho
Lying on the couch watching
Elmo DVDs

Fevers not real high
99 under arm
Has little flushed cheeks

Hate when someone’s sick
I miss having a partner
To take care of him

    I hope he gets to feeling better soon. There is so much junk going around. Some of the schools here have been closing due to sickness. Oh, I’m sure you already know but when taking a temp under arm always add 1 degree to the temp you get. I’m sure you already knew that! :-)

    Hubby just did a podcast episode about taking kids’ temperatures and what the numbers mean. You may be interested in listening.

    www.pediacst.org look for episode #24

    btw, he’s a pediatrician so he has some credibility on the topic.

    Hope Pigpen is feeling better soon!

    Haiku Sundays rock
    Though the Japanese would cry
    We all try our best

    Poor little Pigpen
    missing out on all the fun
    sick days are not good.

    Tell the little fellow all the folks down on the farm are sad and hoping he gets better. Tell him we all love him. Maybe he can get a “sick toy”??

    Sick toys are the best
    All should get them 6-60
    Life=Fun Forever
