Fever

John started running a fever yesterday. Today, when he woke up from his nap, he was "barking" in chest. I took him to the doctor and he is beginning to get croup. No wonder our week has been so bad. Most children's behavior is worse when they are sick. Autistic spectrum kids are no different. Many of the "stereotypical" behavioral patterns are worse when they are coming down with a cold, fever, or sickness of some sort. Our week has been terrible after such a good first two weeks of school. I feel bad for the little guy. Daddy comes home from his business trip on Saturday. Can life please return to "normal"!!!??? Thank you.
