While we are a predominately screen free house, when kids are sick, we are not. This week both Savannah and Adeline were hit hard with a stomach virus and high fevers. Fevers so high that they didn't make it out of bed for the first day of being down. When my kids are this miserable, I bring them into my bed and turn on the TV. Somehow it seems better than laying their own beds staring at a wall.
Since both kids have been down, our screens have been on. Better luck next time I guess.
