Things that make you go hmmm....

Ok- Here are a few things I've had to say to Kyle in the last couple weeks... they really make you go "Hmmm... I can't believe I have to say that!"

"Kyle, please don't drink the water out of the dog's bowl". (He's done it twice this week and Devin used to do it too)
"Kyle, don't lick the shower floor after you peed on it." (Yes, he did that)
"Kyle, don't stick both your hands down your pants" (in public- just to get a rise out of me!)
"Kyle, stop sticking your tongue out at _____ (fill in blank... me, Devin, Rowyn)".
"Kyle, stop taking out all the DVD's out of the DVP player (and changing them to his movies)."
"Kyle, please don't cram so much food in your mouth at once".
"Kyle, please don't put smash mud in your hair." (too late!)

And, that's just the last 2 weeks!!!!

We survived all the fungus among-us.

Yea. I think I can finally see the end to all the sicknesses. My home has been the den of bacteria and viruses for the past 2 weeks... but the end is in sight. After all the drama... Devin had the flu. I had a sinus infection. Kyle got the flu. Then, he just never seemed to get better.... so I took him to doctor yesterday. He was diagnosed with infections in both ears AND a sinus infection! Poor peanut. They gave him a shot of antibiotics in the office yesterday... and said we had to bring him back again today for another shot b/c he was so sick yesterday. They kind of scared me b/c they said if he was doing much worse last night I'd have to take him to the ER! He was such a sick boy yesterday-- he actually fell asleep in my arms in the doctor's exam room! He NEVER falls asleep in my arms unless he is very sick. Actually, he can rarely sit still. So, the fact that he wanted to lay in my arms for the last week for up to 40min at time tells me how sich he was.

Well, thank God he responded and didn't need another shot of antibiotics today. He is much improved and no longer running fevers today! He is now on oral antibiotics and eye drops (for the sinus infection which is backing up his nasolacrimal ducts into his eyes- YUCK). This is the first night he didn't need ibuprofen for the last 8days! He can finally go back to daycare tomorrow afternoon.

Thank God. It has been so difficult for Jack and I to juggle our work schedules to be with our sick kids for the last 2 weeks. I still have a snotty nose but otherwise doing ok. Feel much better with the Z-pack antibiotics. Here's hoping for a good weekend and good Mother's Day!!!

Sick, sick, sick. Ugh.

Yup. We have all been sick. It has been a pain in the butt. About 10 days ago, Devin & I were the first to get sick. She had the flu... high fever, cough, snotty nose, laryngitis... for days. Of course, Jack and I had to juggle our work schedules for 10 days. I take a day off. Then, he takes a day off. Then we juggle back and forth each working 1/2 days to watch whoever was sick. During this time, I had a sore throat for days. Since Devin tested negative to strep throat...I figured it was just a really bad cold. Anyway, as I was suffering through that, I was working and taking care of Devin. Then, just as Devin was getting healthy... Kyle got sick with the flu. So, I didn't take him to the doctor since I already knew what it was. I was starting to feel a little better and then all of a sudden worse again. So, I went to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with some respiratory allergies and a secondary sinus infection. You know I don't feel good when I go to the doctor! So, now I'm on antibiotics, decongestants, and antihistamines. I finally feel better today (after 10 days). I think the decongestants made me feel worse--- dizzy, light headed. So, I didn't take them today. Glad I wasn't on call this weekend. Went to a bridal shower/ Derby day yesterday.. then to a neighbor's party last night for a while. But, overall, pretty low key weekend. Trying to let us all rest, relax and get better! Devin should be back in school this week and back to a normal daycare schedule. Yea!
