Busy and sick times in Cairo, Egypt

Well color me surprised! Just when things are getting really, really busy, our entire family comes down with a bad cold. Karl-Abraham started the whole thing last week with a two-day snotty nose and a cough. Nothing too dramatic, but enough to set off the rest of the family sneezing. August went out first, and then I, with sore throats, a slight fever, coughs and a general feeling of bad. Next William got sick on his birthday, and although he managed to enjoy a bit of beach time in Ras Sudr, he has slept most of the time over the past three days. He hasn’t had a meal since Thursday, which of course worries me, although I know that it is at times like these that the extra chubb he carries around comes in handy. Both boys were supposed to take their Taekwondo belt test today – only August made it. With a sore throat I have to sing at our Spring concert tomorrow and Tuesday, we’re supposed to go to the embassy this week to proceed with Karl-Abraham’s passport application. Friday is the Homeschooling Science Fair. There’s a baseball game on Saturday morning, a birthday party in the afternoon, and sometime this week my husband has a deadline to meet. Aargh!
