What a week!

Oh my word...that's all I can say. This week has been miserable. It all started Monday night. Alexa woke me up at midnight crying because her head hurt. She also had a fever...I gave her motrin and let her sleep on the floor in our bedroom. I didn't get a lick of sleep until 3:30ish...she kept moaning and crying every 15 minutes or so because her head hurt. So I got her into the doctor at 2:00. I hate it that our drs office is in Cumberland! But we love our dr. Unfortunately we couldn't see him and she did not like that. They said her one ear was a little red, they did a strep test which was normal and gave her an antibiotic.

Wednesday...Riley wakes up with a fever and saying her head hurt. I could get her in at 4:15, before I left she throws up twice. We get to the drs office and I'm standing there checking her in, she is sitting on the counter in front of me and she throws up allllll over me. It was awful! Her coat and mine were covered. Luckily Jen works there and let me borrow her coat to wrap around Riley. We get in to see the dr (again not our dr...getting frustrated). Diagnosis...two red ears and a red throat, put on antibiotic. This day I also start with a sore throat.

Thursday....Madisyn wakes up with a very low grade fever and sore throat. I was very tired all day. Make an appointment for Madisyn for Fri afternoon 3:00.

Friday....Madisyn wakes up fine...fever gone...she goes to school. BUT guess what Alexa's fever is back. Call drs office and change Madisyn's appt to Alexa. She was happy and so was I that Dr Root was available today. I start some productive coughing, very tired. Dan has Fridays off right now and volunteered to take Alexa to the dr. They are there now...waiting to hear what's going on with her. I a little worried she was saying that her legs hurt and her head. So tired of being sick!!!
