Feeling a little better. Headache subsiding. No wheezing. Unfortunately, I'm reading aloud my favorite children's book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, by Kate DiCamillo, and we're at the part where Sarah Ruth gets introduced to the reader. She's real sick. The spectre of death is intimated. So, my second-graders ask what's wrong with her? I tell them that her symptoms sound like tuberculosis. Then had to spend a long time convincing them that they all would not perish of TB! I'll be expecting some parent emails (sigh).
