The fever drama Queen

And the story continues... I was so hoping that with May in our sights that the illness bug would just go away.

So last Wed Corrin almost broke her nose in PE. And to add insult to injury she got sick right on top of it. So I hear alot of "Cough - Ow!" or "Sneeze - Ow!" out of her. And w/the fever and getting a sore throat she has not wanted to eat ever after the fever went away so she has lost like 4 lbs. I am hoping we are on the mend now. At least w/her.

So on Sun evening Kolette gets a fever of 104 and so that was fun. But then Monday she decides that 104 isn't good enough and bumps it up to 105 and I take her to the Dr. Her oxygen was down and she slept the entire appt. Kolette never sleeps so you know she is really sick. We got home w/an antibiotic. Then she acts fine all day yesterday w/just a fever of 101. She ends up at 105 again last night, throws up and is breathing super fast. I woke up the doctor at home who was also sick and he gave me alot of things to do like neb her every 15 mins and if it didn't improve in an hour to take her to the ER.

Anyhow we barely made it thru the night. But she is now on Prednisilone, a heavy antibiotic, pulmicort, her other antibiotic and albuteral. But she just insists she isn't sick she just gets cold. Anyhow life is guaranteed to never be boring w/her just confusing when it comes to the medical part. But God is watching over her and that is all I can ask for. Although I don't think that a little sleep would be out of the question for me.

I'm there for you

I am standing at my computer and this is the conversation I am hearing from the boys bedroom. It is Ian and Kolette.

Ian "I am here for you"
Kolette "I am here for you"
Ian "I won't let anyone hurt you"
Kolette "You look up to me"
Ian "I have to take very, very, very good care of you"
Kolette "What if you got in trouble at school coz someone was mean to me?"
Ian "I will always take care of you"

My cup runneth over!
