Being Sick

Well the last week both of the kids have been really sick. It started out Sunday night with Cavyn saying his head hurt. By the time he went to bed his head and his back hurt. The next morning when he woke up I could tell he just didn't feel great. He went to grandma's and didn't play much. When we got home after work that day he had a temperature and would just lay on the couch. By bed time he had a temperature of 104 and was miserable.

The next morning he felt a little better but not perfect and Nycolette woke up coughing horribly. I took the day off work and drove them up to Estes to the doctor. Of course their pediatrician retired without telling us so I took them to my doctor. He was amazing with them and they will now see him. Anyways... Nycolette got diagnosed with an ear infection and croup. Cavyn got diagnosed with strep. Well we got their prescriptions filled and Cavyn felt better right away, while Nycolette got worse. Her cough was horrible and she was such a sad baby. By Thursday we called the doctor again because of her cough and got a steroid. This helped amazingly with her cough, but on Friday she was coughing so bad that she couldn't stop crying.

We called the on call doctor and took her to the ER after three hours of crying that evening. They took xrays and gave her an inhaler and ear drops to go along with her antibiotic and steroid. Magic happened after that Nycolette slept for 14 hours the next night and woke up still coughing but not as much and was so much happier. She is now on the path to recovery.

Halloween 2011

We had such a great Halloween weekend! On Friday night we got to go to Aim's Community College for a trick or treat event going on. We went with our neighbors, Jayme and Eric and Bryar, and some other friends Brook and Hayden. It was fun, Cavyn was dressed up as The Cat in the Hat, Nyco and Bryar were thing one and thing two and Hayden was a scuba diver. Afterward we went to Old Chicago's for dinner. It was a lot of fun and I am so grateful to have friends with kids that live close to us. On Saturday the kids and I went to a trick or treat event in Loveland at the mall and it was ok, Jayme, Eric and Bryar came too.

The kids and I were so tired from the last two days that on Sunday we just hung out at home and rested. But again on Monday we got to go trick or treating in our neighborhood with our other neighbors Angie, John, and Jay. It was so much fun and Cavyn would say "trick or treat. Ok next house" We went down two blocks and then went home. Cavyn stayed up an hour later then usual because he was so excited about trick or treating.

That was our Halloween, and as fun as it was we are still recovering and tired.

It snowed again last night and we lost power for two hours. When we woke up this morning and there was 9inches of snow. I got to work from home and Chris had off so after I worked for a while we got to all hang out and play. Luckly the snow is melting already.
