Sick kiddos

My poor kiddos!

Both Sammy and Justin got sick this week. Sammy started it with a fever on Wednesday morning of 101.9. She was in good spirits but too warm for school. Justin went to school for the day and Sammy and Mommy hung out in the morning painting nails, playing candy land and watching Sofia the First on Disney.

Since I couldn't afford to miss out on work completely, Sammy and I swung by the office to pick up a laptop so I could work from home. Taking longer than expected, Sammy feel asleep on the floor next to the desk and woke up miserable. I rushed her home and she started complaining that her ears hurt. Off to the doctor we went and Dr. B check her out, she had double ear infections. HER FIRST EAR INFECTIONS! Ibuprofen for the fever and amoxocillian for the ears, I got my happy girl back.

Justin woke up on Thursday with a 101.8 fever. I immediately called the doctor and asked for him to be checked out. Ears were good but this virus went to his chest. She gave him a breathing treatment and he started breathing easier so we got sent home with albuturol and a breathing machine. According to Dr. B, you should have 20 breaths a minute, 40 if you're sick, and 60 you need to see a doctor. Throughout the night and next morning, his breathing ranged anywhere from 60-90 breaths per minute. We of course headed back in to see the doctor and she checked his lungs, all clear. Worried he would get pneumonia, she said if it persisted to take him to the hospital.

Saturday morning we wake up and he's not much better. Thankfully Dr. B was working and called to check on him, she advised us to take him to Children's Hospital Oakland. We did and after lots of waiting, chest x rays and a couple conversations, we were sent home. That night his fever broke and he's been on the mend since.

So three days off work with two sick babies...I look forward to Monday!

Potty Party!

Today Sammy had a special party in her honour at school...she had a Potty Party. This is a celebration that Ms. Sydney throws when a child has been dry with no accidents at school for two full weeks. Sammy had actually been dry for almost a month at school but due to the holidays and her birthday...we delayed the party a bit.

The kids all made brownies this morning and then Steve and I showed up to celebrate and enjoy brownies with the kiddos.

We still have an occasional accident at home here and there but I'll give the girl credit and call her POTTY TRAINED!

As a special gift...she received this little lady to add to her collection!
