Startin' Early

Well the sick season is starting early this year. After the winter we had last year I have been praying it would skip us this year. Tuesday I took Kate to the doctor because she had been very fussy and running a low grade temperature for several days, and Monday she was really poking at her right ear. Sure enough she had an infection in her right ear. Well, Thursday Luke came home with a headache. I thought it was strange for him to have a headache, so I gave him some ibuprofen and hoped all was well. About 2am Friday morning he woke up crying that his head was hurting and he was thirsty. I gave his some more pain reliever and tried to go back to sleep, but he moaned all night. We took him to the doctor yesterday. He has strep throat (with not one complaint that his throat hurt). Daddy was with us and chose the shot as treatment. So Lukie got a shot. He handled it VERY well. We were proud of him! We drove him directly to get a Slurpee after leaving the doctor's office. He felt bad all day yesterday, but woke up feeling pretty good this morning. Don't worry if you had plans to be with us this Thanksgiving. He is not contagious any more!




My sick babies. I hope Rachel is not next!
