My saga continues...

Brock says home the next day with all three. The boys all seemed fine, but Brock got sick and was dealing with that and the kids all day. I get home and take care of the kids. They seem fine and mom is feeling better so I figure that I am fine to go to school. I start feeling bad, so I go to bed at 9 trying to prevent myself from throwing up because I was having the other symptoms. At about midnight Connor wakes me up and tells me his tummy hurts. I start to get him situated on a pallet in our room when he runs to the bathroom to throw up. So I get him cleaned up and get on the net to set up my sub and write my sub plans. Connor throws up about 3 or 4 times in the night but wakes up at 7:30 feeling fine and ready for school. I asked Brock to take the little guys to mom's house because I wasn't feeling well and knew that I couldn't sleep with them here. I go back to sleep and don't wake back up until 12:30, go back to sleep and wake up at 1:30...I didn't get out of bed until after 3!! Poor Connor had to take care of himself on Friday. I got up at 3 and took a shower. I felt great after sleeping all day and the rest of the fam seemed fine.

I was feeding Kaden at like 7 and he throws up EVERYWHERE...about 9 Jax throws up EVERYWHERE!!! I thought we were done with this!!! So the rest of the night goes fine, I stay up until 3 AM to make sure everyone is fine. Saturday we wake up and Jax's neck is swollen and so are his tonsils. I take him to CareNow and they give him some antibiotics.

When will this ever end.................................

Sick Kiddos

Connor and Kaden are both sick.

Yesterday, when Brock picked Kaden and Jaxson up, mom told him that Kaden had really bad diarrhea. Once home, Kaden was a little more mellow and cuddly, but no diarrhea. Connor complained a few times about a sore throat. We knew that we would probably have to take him to the doctor because he gets strep all the time.

This morning I asked Connor about his throat, he said that it didn't hurt. I called mom to check on Kaden and she said that he seemed fine but wasn't eating much. Later in the day, I decided that he probably didn't tell me the truth because he hates to go to the doctor. He is totally scared of shots.

So I send Connor to the nurse and she calls to tell me that his tonsils are huge and his temp is 99. I call and get him an appointment and then call to check on Kaden. I decided that maybe he isn't eating because his throat hurts, so I get an appointment for both.

I get to mom's to pick the boys up and Kaden is sleeping on mom. I go to the back to get Jax and mom starts yelling. Kaden has thrown up all over. He also started with the diahrrea diapers again and messed every outfit she had for him. So, I clean him up and then he drops another load!!!!

I clean that up and get to the doctor's office...another load!!!!

Long story short, after two hours in the doc's office...Connor has strep and Kaden has a bacterial thing. So, Connor gets a shot...it takes three people to hold him down!!

I keep saying this, but I will NEVER take all three of them to the doctor by myself again!!!

On a side note, Connor weighs 40 lbs and Jax is 2 lbs behind at 38 lbs. Kaden weighs 20 lbs.
