These past few weeks have been full of fevers and extra kids!
Bryson had a fever for about a week that I kept attributing to teething... until it got to 104! I then, finally, took him into the doctor. The doc said he had a red, swollen throat, but came up negative from a strep test. We were told just to watch him for a few days and if his temp stayed that high to bring him back in 3 days and they would then do blood and urine tests. Blah. He continued to responded well to ibuprofen. It took a couple days, but the fever finally broke.
Then it was Hannah's turn. She had a fever of 102 to 105 for about 3 days. Yuck! Its so hard to see my kids sick. Overall, they were pretty good, but a lot more needy. I hate to see them aching.
We were supposed to be watching my sisters kids, but thankfully my parents took them for one of our nights. I was mostly worried about passing it on them them. We washed sheets, towels, and blankets, sanitized toys... and then had them come.
So one weekend we had my cute niece and nephew and then this last weekend we had my friend's little girl come stay with us for four days and 3 nights. Hannah loved the extra playmates and having sleepovers. But it has been very busy and we are grateful to be back to our normal routine... whatever that is!
So that's why I haven't posted in the last few weeks! Whew! Hopefully I'll be back with another post soon!

You are so right about feeling sad for your sick kids. I love that they want to cuddle but wish they weren't miserable to do it. Good luck with normal.
Oh - I am glad they are feeling better - we have been sick too and it is no fun. Now we are mostly better, but it hasn't stopped raining - so we are stuck inside. Too bad it couldn't rain when we HAD to stay indoors.
Oh well! You are a good friend to watch another kid for SO long. Way to go!
I'm sorry your kids were sick! That is the worst!! Glad they are on the mend!
Thanks for all your work to watch mine and keep them healthy. You are super!
My kids are famous for high fevers with no real diagnosis attached to it. Poor little guys! It's miserable for everyone..including mom!
