The weekend started with Matt & Zack sick. They both had nasty coughs(still do) and Matt had a fever to go along with it. Zack woke up one night wheezing and coughing so badly that he threw up (sorry TMI). Thankfully no more fever for Matt and they both seem to be on the mend, except for that lingering cough.
Lauren started getting sick shortly after the other two. She had a low grade temp for a couple of days, threw up once, and now she has the nasty cough. I took her to the dr. today because I was worried she had another ear infection with the way she's been acting. Her ears are fine, thank goodness, but the dr. thinks she may have strep. Oh, and she's started running fever again today. We will find out Friday if it's definitely strep and we may end up having to treat everyone else, too.
On top of all of this, we have Scouts tonight. I would cancel but we're taking a field trip to the police dept. and then going out for supper. The boys have really been looking forward to it. They collected teddy bears to donate to the police dept. for the officers to carry in their cars to give out to children who have been in accidents or some other traumatic incident. They also get to take a tour of the police dept. I know we'll have fun, I just wish I didn't have to worry about sick babies at the same time.
Here's a funny picture I wanted to share of Lauren in the crate with Brownie. I promise I had nothing to do with it. She did this all on her own. Is it legal to use this as a form of time out? ;o)
