Sick Weekend

This has been a weekend I would like to never repeat again! But, having two kids I know we are bound to have many many more sick days. It all started with Jordan. He came down with what we thought at first was allergies and then decided maybe it was a sinus infection. Then came Thursday night. Griffin started coughing a horrible deep cough and had a nose that was just pouring. On Friday he felt hot to me and sure enough had a fever around 101. I took him to the pedi and she diagnosed him with his first ear infection ever! Poor baby. She also gave him a rapid flu test because he had all the flu symptoms and looked "fluish" to her. It came back negative but because we have little sister at home she decided to go ahead and treat him (and us) with Tamiflu as a precaution. So I spent Friday night taking care of Jordan and Griff and keeping Gracie as far away as possible. Then, to make matters WAY worse I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible case of mastitis. I will spare you all the details but it is probably the most painful sick feeling I have ever had. Thankfully I paged my OB yesterday and she called in an antibiotic. And today I feel about 50% better. And sweet Gracie girl seems to have made it through unharmed.

So, needless to say all plans for this weekend were cancelled and we all layed low and made it through. I am thinking Griffin will be staying home from school tomorrow and then hopefully he will be 100% by Wednesday. We are going to Western Days in our town this weekend and are so excited to see Kevin Fowler, Mickey and the Motorcars, and Cross Canadian! We will feel like we are back in Abilene.
