Just a quick little post

UPDATE: So the appt at the peed's office was a bit crazy. Jacob's school called @ 1:45 saying he was sick and needed to be picked up. He was not sick at all, just didn't want to be at school for the last hour and a half. I was a bit furious at him to say the least. From the school we went straight to the peed's office to check in a bit early hoping they'd get us in a bit sooner. They did not. They were completely swamped, seems every child in our town is sick at this moment in time. So all 4 kids and I sat in the waiting room, which was soooo not fun at all. Katelyn was extremely fussy, then Mady started in since there must be something to cry about after all. Aaron was very clingy and wanted to be on my lap the entire time we were there. And Jacob sat sulking, since he just found out that he is grounded from basically everything for playing hookie for the 3rd time in a month.

As far as the visit went, Aaron went first and low and behold the poor kid has double ear infections (AGAIN). Other than that he checked out o.k. Katelyn does not have RSV (thank God), but does have an ear infection in her right ear, and conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye) in both eyes. Since Aaron and Katelyn didn't fair so well, the Doc decided to check out Mady's ears too, just to be safe. She thankfully got a clean bill of health. Since pink eye is pretty contagious the peed we saw gave me an extra refill on the eye ointment so I could give it to Mady if she comes down with it. Can I just say SWEET! Because if she does come down with it, I obviously will know exactly what it looks like, and that's one less extremely painful (on me) trip to the peed.

And that's that!


Katelyn is sick still (or again). It seemed like it was going away and she was on the mend, but then yesterday she woke up all sick again, and today her eyes are so puffy and spewing ickyness. She looks very pitiful and so I am taking her to the peed today. I even settled for a different doc, since ours is booked until tomorrow. Hate that! Anyway I'm a little freaked out that it may be RSV. The girls are not getting synagis this year, so I'm a little bit spazzed out about it!

On the other hand Madelyn is feeling better, and is only coughing a bit (could be reflux related). All the kids have the lingering cough from their colds still though.

Well, wish us luck at the peed today. Our appt is at 2:45, so I'll update when we get back!
