Still Sick!

(doesn't this just break your heart?!)

Logan and Owen still didn't feel well today, so I called the doctor's office this morning. I wasn't able to get them in until this afternoon, so they spent most of the day lying around and whimpering. It was quite sad actually. When it was time to go to the doctor's the boys were feeling pretty crummy. I had to put Treyton in the sling, because Logan and Owen both rode in the stroller! They didn't even ask to see the fish when we got into the doctor's office so I know they were feeling awful. When we got in they didn't want to move, but we went to get their weight. (Owen is 31 pounds and Logan is 36). After we got back to the room Logan asked if he could climb onto the exam table and I told him yes. He climbed up there and just laid down flat on his stomach. When Dr. Meyer got in there they were just lookign so pathetic. They would hardly move and he really felt bad for them. He looked at them both and their throats were pretty red so he ordered a strep test. When the nurse came to do the test she told me Dr. Meyer said that they were breaking his heart. (They did look very very sad!) Also when the nurse came in Owen was on the exam table as he was seen last, and he had fallen asleep. He was flat on his back with his hand down his pants. (Of course I had my camera - I'll post soon!) Well the strep test came back negative and the end diagnosis was they have a virus. So that does stink as there isn't much we can do for them.

Logan actually ended up feeling better later on tonight which was fantastic. We let him go outside briefly and you would have thought he had been locked up for ages! Owen was feeling worse and by around 9:00 he had 104.7 fever. Obviously this got me very worried so I called the nurse on-call. I got Cindy (nice lady - same one I spoke with last night! ) I mentioned my name and she was like "Owen or Logan!" She had us put him in a lukewarm bath and wait for his tylenol to kick in and that is what we did.

It blows my mind that 104.7 fever isn't considered dangerous - this isnt' the first time they've had a high fever, but if it was I'd probably have been out the door and straight in the emergency room. (Actually not even probably - I've done it in the past!) But luckily the tylenol did kick in and the bath helped too and we got his fever down to around 101 and he was feeling perky. Cindy called back later on to check on him and we were all good.

I have a lot of blog pictures to update and I will try to get to those soon! I have been keeping busy with sick kids and working on the wedding photos I took. I am also battling a big headache which is no fun!
