Well, I don't think this summer is getting off to a good start. Yesterday, my two youngest daughters got some kind of bug and are now sick. Z is worse off. Last night, she was coughing in bed and could hardly breathe with all the junk in her throat. She got up multiple times with the coughing making her spit up in the toilet. They are also running a fever. No one else is sick so I don't know where they could have gotten it from except maybe the park that I took them to on Saturday.

I finally received the NEC PC-8201A that I purchased of of eBay almost two weeks ago. It seems to be in better physical condition that the one I have from before but was a little dirty. The 32K memory cartridge works fine and the power adapter also. But, the display seems to have a problem. It flickers and fades in and out. Hopefully with the batteries in place and the adapter plugged in, after a few hours, it will return to normal after not being used for some time. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I would hate for something to be wrong with it before I ever got to use it.

Z has a 102F temperature and is complaining of pain in her legs. I gave her Motrin earlier when her temperature was 100F but it didn't work. This time I have her some Tylenol pain reliever for children. Hopefully it works. If her temperature gets any higher, we will have to take her to the hospital or the clinic. M is still at work waiting for the nurse for the next shift. Hopefully she will get there soon because we also have to pay rent today.

I don't know where Z could have gotten sick from except for the park. H has a slight fever and was not feeling well when she woke up this morning, but is doing
better.
