Sick Household Still

Well it's still a sick household around here. Yesterday N actually slept in. Then when he woke up you could tell he had a fever and his cough was worse. Took temp 100.5. Gave meds. Then about about an hour and half later noticed his fever was coming back. So called dr office to get him in. Got appt for 2:30. Then at 11:30a gave him more meds for the fever. Then he promptly fell asleep. Took him to our bed. E did not like that! She wanted N to be with her. :-) Had to bribe her with Curious George so she would let him sleep. An hour later noticed N's temp not going down. Took it again. Was 102.5. So called dr office. Was told to wake him up and give him motrin this time and come in a little early to the appt. Took a little bit to wake him up but he did and knew who I was. So gave him motrin...took awhile to convince him to take it. Then called M and asked him he could come home b/c N wouldn't leave me and didn't know how I would do the dr appt with him clinging to me and E off running. :-) M came home and then we left. Dr listened to him and said his lungs sounded ok for now but to put him on his albuetrol machine for a few days to make sure it doesn't get worse. Then told us that the fever and cold is going around town. Can you believe this. Kids are getting temps of 101-104 for 3-5 days long!!!! Just to let it run it's course and only give Tylenol/motrin if he is uncomfortable. Then gave me a perscription for amoxicillian in case he gets worse. Which will be filled today b/c last night was not a good night for sleep. N wanted to sleep on our floor and then at 2am asked to go back to his bed. He did not sleep well at all. Then all morning he has said on and off that his ear hurts. :-( Today will be a good day for naps! S definitely needs it since have to work the late crop tonight 5:30-midnight. This is a sick household and we won't be doing much this weekend! Just glad S doesn't have to work!

The new furniture came yesterday! Luckily a little before 5pm so we didn't have to wait around all night for it to come. But no one mentioned until last night that the love seat and ottoman are missing. Got put on the wrong truck I guess and won't be here until Feb 5. So right now we have the couch, chair, coffee table and end tables. We love it! The kids so far are doing well with new rules about sippy cups and such. Have a table cloth over the coffee table until I can get around to getting a piece of glass to cover it.

Leaving you with a picture that shows the new couch and the sick kids. The couch is actually an olive green...sometimes looks brown in the pictures.
