It has been a while since I blogged, but I have an excuse! November 4th, I had to bring Alex home from school early. Because our school was a polling place, lunch was in the classroom that day. As I was taking lunch to another kindergarten class, I looked into his classroom only to see him at his desk, asleep. His teacher said that he had been falling asleep all day and when she tried to stand him up, he would not wake up. When I got him home, he was very hot, about 103 degrees! The next day, we went to the doctor. After 3 tests and two x-rays, we were told that it should be a virus that had to run its course. It lasted until Saturday!! Lauren went camping that weekend with the Girl Scouts (more on that later) and came back early with a cough. It lasted through Sunday and she work up Monday with the same bad cough, so we went to the doctor to see about something to stop it. ( OTC meds were NOT doing anything) We were given two inhalers to try to stop it. Tuesday, she woke up with the fever. She has had it since. Yesterday, she threw up three times as well as coughing and fever. The doctor has prescribed an antibiotic and thinks she may have just come down with a combination of things. This morning at 3 am, oh yes 3 am, she had a fever of 103.1. So far today she has not had one (thank you meds), but we will see. I am VERY tired and if anyone else gets sick, I think I might be fired from my job!!
