My poor little guys...

Zack and Nathan have been sick ALL week. Nathan was first, he finally got his 3rd tooth in over the weekend, but on Sunday started coughing so I took him in to see the doc on Monday. They said he had an upper respiratory infection, probably viral, but not much they could do. Poor little guy has been miserable all week, it gets really bad about 3am, when he kind of wakes up and starts fussing, but isn't really awake. Then this evening when he woke up from a 3hr nap (that was the first clue) and was really hot, so I took his temp and it had spiked to 102.2, gave him some Tylenol, checked it again an hour later, only dropped to 101.9. So I called the on-call number for my ped's office, and when they finally called back, told me to just watch him and give the office a call in the morning to see if they wanted to do a throat culture.

The throat culture was suggested because when Zack woke up Wednesday morning he had a temp of 102.3, so off to the doc we went, and after checking his ears and such, they did a throat culture on him, and it came back positive for strep. Zack has just had a bad week, Tuesday evening, he was climbing on Dustins bunk bed, and fell off the top of it, and landed on his hip. So I had the doc check that out while we were there, because Zack was limping on his right side. They said that he probably just had a bone bruise and possibly a muscle bruise, but if he was still limping on Monday to let them know and they would have me take him in for an x-ray. They said that if he did have a hairline fracture it wouldn't show up till then.

Brianna has also had a sore throat and slight cough, but hasn't run a temp with it, so hopefully she'll miss out on it. Dustin hasn't had anything, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way.

In the midst of all this chaos I call home this week, I do have a layout to share with you:
This one is of my boys. The template is from 3s_enough at Midnight Scrapping, it's Template #59. The papers are from Dirty Grunge Rock Star by Lori at Scripity Scrap.

It was one of the 4 pages I managed to finish last weekend. I wanted to try and get some more done this weekend, but with all my kiddos being sick, I haven't gotten that far. Bri and Dustin are at my mom's and Zack and Nathan are resting comfortably (for now, keep your fingers crossed that they have a better night), so I may get something scrapped yet.

Have a good night!

Hugs,

Michele
