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.
