The troops are on the move

For the last three days Daniel has been fighting a war with the stomach flu or some similar sickness. He has been plagued with high temperatures that even Tylenol and Advil do not seem to alleviate and woke up this morning at 4:30 am throwing up. Daniel has spent the last three days basically rooted to the couch watching 'Chicken Little'. He can now sing most of the songs in the movie and it is quite funny hearing him singing out 'I am the champion' and 'I will survive'. Daniel's favorite song is a song by the Bare Naked Ladies called 'One Little Slip'. He now knows the words to almost the entire song. The amazing thing is he sings the correct words and this is not a simple song to sing. For example here is the start of the song (Daniel can sing this part):

It was a recipe for disaster
A four course meal of no sirree
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over reaction
I assume you know the rest

One little slip, One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things

I guess maybe Daniel has watched 'Chicken Little' a little too much.

But I think the end is in sight. He seemed much better today and only had to take Tylenol once. He even ate half of a hamburger for dinner. And this morning Daniel told me, 'I think my white blood cells are winning the battle'. Hopefully the battle will be won soon.
