A few days ago our son started coughing, well almost a week ago now. Didn't think much of it because he was acting fine otherwise. Have him some cough meds and kept on our week. Tuesday night when I came home from work, the hubs informed me that Alek was running a fever. When I went in to check on him, hiss pillow was soaked in sweat. But the next morning he felt fine, so off to school he went. We went to Pip's appointment and pop picked up Alek.
He still didn't feel all to well that afternoon so I kept him home from school Thursday and Friday. Well, Thursday Pip started to run a fever and cough. Not what I wanted to be experiencing right now. But I suppose if she's sick now, we can keep her healthy more easily later.
I ended up taking both to the Dr yesterday. They both have upper respiratory infections, got cough and fever meds and sent home. Although Alek has list right since a few months ago and the Dr wanted to see Lainee after surgery. Probably curious about the cast and what not, haha. He isn't the first Dr to request a follow up after surgery.. finally got the meds into them last night before bed.
Pip woke up twice overnight coughing/crying. But she settled after the first bout so I didn't go to her. Second time I did and found reddish/brown stuff all over her blanket. In my half sleepy state I initially thought blood, so I frantically checked her all over and finally concluded: vomit. Both baby from coughing so much she threw up the first time. I gave her some more Tylenol for het once again fever and took her to my room, put on cartoons and gave her crackers and pedialyte. She asked to go back to her room and fell asleep, so I went back to bed.
The rest of our day was fighting to take meds and fighting fevers. She was so exhausted after her bath she fell asleep rather quickly. Hoping for a fever free day for her tomorrow. Alek's went away yesterday. 3 weeks and two days until surgery. Let's hope we'll be healthy enough!
