We took Layla for her three year check-up on Friday. She is great. Healthy & very smart. She weighed in at 30.8 lbs (50%) and is 38.5 (75-90%) inches tall. The doctor and nurse were very impressed as they listened to her answer her Denver screening questions. She has the logic and skills of a 4 year old. The doctor especially appreciated being told "Ok - That's enough" when she was talking to her about staying in her bed. Too funny.
Adam joined us on our adventure because he was a screaming crying mess. We assumed ear infection. It was worse than we thought. He has a raging double ear infection, sinus infection, and throat infection. Since he was already crying and yelling "Stop it" and we knew he needed antibiotics, we saved him the throat swab.
That night around midnight, Hannah woke up with an extremely high fever. After 4 hours up with her and her fever coming back every couple hours, we took her right in Saturday morning. Strep Throat. Gross. By the time we got home I was also feeling bad and achy. We cleaned the house and did our best to keep everyone resting and drinking all day. Matt and I got antibiotics for ourselves also. I for sure have it, but Matt is safe so far. We saw Layla take a big drink out of Hannah's cup so we are bracing for that also.
Hannah and Adam are feeling a little better, but this thing really knocks them on their tushies. We are flying through Motrin and Tylenol, but are hoping the fevers stop today. We have taken a bunch of baths (followed by straight bleach tub wash), and done a lot of movie watching. I took two aimless drives with the little kids to get them out of the house and satisfy "bye bye car". It is actually very relaxing when they are quiet and staring out windows. They love the river so we go back and forth over the Boon bridge until we are ready to come home. Today we might venture out to get new desparately needed gym shoes for the girls, but time will tell.
Hope your weekend was better than ours!
