Scout and Navy have become quite the sickies lately. It started with Icka on Thursday morning who woke up with a slight fever. It didn’t seem like a huge deal, and we headed down to Jakey’s last track meet. Scout was in great spirits until the end of the day, when his fever came on and even his cousins couldn’t make him happy. The next four days were feverlicious! Scout had a constant 103 temperature unless his medicine broke it for a few hours. Navy was constantly at 101 unless her meds kicked in. There aren’t any other nasty things going on — thank goodness.
The good part was how sweet my kids turned when they were sick. Scout must have asked, “Mom, will you please hold me” 50 times every day. He wanted life to be like it normally is, and wanted to ride bikes, go swimming, eat food — including Denny’s. So we would attempt everything, but after one bite or pedal, he was tapped out. Icka was sweet, she even let me hold her at times. But the real miracle was when she would get in her car seat and only “tell” me she wanted out a few times. It was a far cry from her mind-numbing, constant screaming.
Scout did a lot of sleeping. He also did a lot of breathing out of his mouth, and his breath smelled REALLY bad. I definitely earned my Mother’s Day when I slept with him through the night and he kept saying, “turn this way”.
Here’s my girl…doing what she does best.
He had this glazed over look the entire time.
But who am I kidding, I am acting like we are out of the woods. Going into day 5, Scout woke up feverless, but my bet is that it’s lurking. And Icka….well she is just drooling like crazy and getting her final teeth — the vampire teeth. You know the ones. The ones that hurt teething babies the most. SWEET!
