Sad Days...

My poor babies are sick! I hate when my babies are sick they get so sad, and it breaks my heart. Especially when the doctors say they can't do anything and that they need to just ride it out! I understand that but it hurts me to have to see them so sad and in pain.

On Sunday at church it was ward conference so me and Chris were together with Landon in our joint meeting and Landon was being unusually fussy, so Chris checked his teperature and he had a slight fever. We gave him some meds and got him comfortable so that he fell asleep and we were able to stay through sacrament. When we got home he was still running a little fever, but he seemed to do okay as long as he had some medicine in him. He really did not have any other symptoms just a fever.

Monday morning we woke up and when I went to get Landon he was burning up! I checked his temperature and it had spiked to 103. I gave him a quick shot of motrin and another of tylenol and stripped him down to his diaper and half an hour later his fever went down and he seemed ok. After his nap his meds had worn off and he was burning up again. I checked his temp and it had spiked once again to 103. I redosed him and called the doctor who seemed concerned that he may have the flu and urged me to bring him in later in the afternoon to just get him checked out. A half hour later he threw up and I noticed he was still miserable , shaking and really hot so I checked his temp again and it had spiked to 105! I called the doc and they told me I needed to get his core temp down fast and that if I couldn't to take him to the hospital. Luckily for me I have been through this once before with Carson and they had told me how to get his core temp down FAST! I threw him in a cold bath with a popsicle and sure enough it went down quick! (It broke my heart thought to do it the poor baby was shivering and screaming!)

We made it to our appointment which was good, and they checked him out head to toe and told us it didn't seem like the flu and that he had a virus that he just needed to ride out and to give it 5 days to pass. But to keep an eye on him and keep him hydrated and make sure his temp didn't get too high.

So far today he's been about the same. Fine when his meds kick in but when they wear off he's right back up to 103-104 temps. I hate seeing my poor baby so unhappy! Luckily for me we had freezing rain and Chris's school was closed today so I had him home to help me out! It looks like we may have a bad weather day tomorrow too so he may be home from work which will help me out because this evening Lilli started to have a fever too!

I hope this passes soon for my kids it makes me so sad for them to not be their normal, happy, playful selves! I'm on day 4 for Landon and I'm thinking if he is still doing bad tomorrow that he might have to get a blessing, at least for some comfort!

My hope is that it doesn't make it's way through all 5 of us! Especially me cuz when I get sick everything seems to fall apart...no matter how hard Chris tries to keep it all together!
