Hoping Josh is on the mend. Fever today was only 99.

Colin woke up on Saturday from a nap with a 102.3 fever but by Saturday night it was completely gone and he acted fine. Did fine all day Sunday and no fever today. Weird.

I'm just trying to keep everybody else well and get through this week so I can head to the beach on Friday and not be leaving behind any sick kiddos.

When it rains, it pours...

Josh woke up this morning telling me his throat hurt. I took him temp and it was 101. We made plans for him to stay home from school and I called the doctor for an appointment.

He got to the doctor at 11AM and even after a dose of Tylenol at 6:30 his fever was 103.1.

Strep throat AND swine flu.

We have him isolated at my parent's house to try and minimize exposure here, especially with Colin.

I've been running back and forth checking in on him and taking him things from home.

I'm guessing he's going to be down and out for a few days but hopefully by Monday he will start to show some improvement.

The doctor said the possibility of pneumonia worried her more than anything else. She said if he starts complaining with his chest hurting to bring him back ASAP and more than likely he would be hospitalized. We are praying it doesn't get to this and his coughing doesn't get any worse.

No fun at all!

I've been Cloroxing everything in sight. I know we have all already been exposed and the doctor said if we are going to get it it would be in the next 24-48 hours so we'll have to sit back and see what happens.

I jinxed us! I was just telling someone at work yesterday that we had never taken a flu shot and never gotten the flu!

So far behind in updating and posting pictures.

The boys got a new swingset so they have been outside every afternoon. Colin loves to swing in his new swing.

I'm only in the office 2 days this week. I have to attend an update class which basically means I have to physically sit in the class for 20 hours but I can bring a book to read or whatever so I'll be catching up on all my reading Wed-Fri. I'm done at noon on Friday so I have the rest of the afternoon to myself...at least until 3PM!

11 more days till I leave for the beach and I'm ready!

We brought out all our Fall decorations this weekend so our house smells like pumpkin and fall wreaths are everywhere.

We had company Saturday night then Sunday afternoon so I'm beat even after having a weekend break.

Colin was running a fever Saturday morning, which caused me to miss a good friend's wedding, but I had to stay home with him. He seems to be doing fine now.

I've started taking advantage of the Y being 5 minutes from my office so I'm back to running each day. I have MISSED that.
