As if one wasn't bad enough

All three girls are now sick too. I'm not sure if it is going to be full blown hand foot mouth with them since they only have sores in their mouths. Elizabeth never ran a high fever, but when I noticed the sores in her mouth last night she said her mouth has been hurting since before Joseph's Birthday but she was so excited about school starting that she didn't tell me. Hopefully we didn't infect her entire first grade class! Emily and Sarah both had the high fever and now have mouths full of sores. It just looks so painful!! We've been eating a lot of pudding around here lately. Wish us luck that it all passes soon.

Oh man! What a bummer! I hope is all blows over quickly. I think dealing with sick kids has to be one of the hardest parts of being the mom. Good luck!

UGH!!! But it was inevitable, huh?! JJ only gets the sores in his mouth and runs the fever. It's still considered hand, foot, and mouth without it ever going to the hands and feet.

I feel so bad. Wish I could be there to help out a bit. Hang in there! You can do this. In the meantime, enjoy the chance to eat yummy pudding all day long and to veg on the couch.

We'll pray for you!!

Twins in Trouble

Image
The twins were supposed to be in their beds in their room watching a movie for quiet time while Joseph was taking a nap today. I heard them in the kitchen and asked them why they were out of their room. They instantly started saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" so naturally I went to see what they were so sorry about. When I saw them I put them in the tub right away and asked them what happened . . . They some how managed to get into Elizabeth's ink and stamp set and decided to decorate themselves and their bedroom. You can tell by the look on Sarah's face she knows she is in trouble. And Emily doesn't seem any happier. They colored their beds Elizabeth's Bed And the rug on their floor. After their bath they spent the next two hours scrubbing everything they touched in the kitchen, their ink footprints off the floor, and the rug in their room. They were not happy with the manual labor, but were smart enough not to complain. I'm hoping th...

And the diagnosis is . . .

Friday morning Emily woke up with a fever. By Sat night it got up to 105! Boy was she a sick baby. Sun morning while Andrew took Elizabeth and Sarah to church I took Emily to Primed. Her WBC was high (21) so the doc new it was a bacterial infection and gave her a shot of antibiodics. He didn't run any other tests though so we didn't know where the infection was. (I was kinda frustrated about that) Even with motrin and tylenol she ran a nasty fever the rest of the day. Monday I took Emily to her regular Dr who ran all kinds of tests and discovered my poor baby girl had Pnemonia!!! She got another shot of antibiodics and was put on oral antibiodics for 10 days. Her oxygen level was great so I got to take her home, but I have to take her back in a week for a repeat chest x-ray to make sure the pnemonia is gone. Sarah started running a fever Sunday night so the doctor did a work up on her and found she had elevated WBC too so she was put on antibiodics as well to fight off the inf...
