Sick Kids!

This week was a fun one! On Monday I had predicted to Aaron that Keenan was going to get sick today, because he had a runny nose. Around 3 PM, Keenan's teached called saying Keenan had diarrha twice and she already had to send someone else home too. I gladly packed up my things, because I too was not having a good day at work, and left to go pick him and Eli up so Aaron could work late. I got Keenan and he was acting normal minus the butt issue, then I went to get Eli. Once Eli closed the classroom door to walk into the hallway he started crying and I did not know what was wrong, then he started puking up his lunch. Poor baby. He did feel much better after that, and I was secretly thankful the puking happened there than in the car! I called Aaron to let him know we had 2 sick kids, not just 1! What a new experience for me.

We kept them both home Tuesday and Wednesday. Nana Rourke came over to watch the boys. Aaron ended up staying home too, which I'm glad because I think it's tought to watch them both when they are both sick. Aaron took Eli to the doc on Tuesday because we was just not himself. He was quiet and just wanted to lay down, he could not keep anything down. He has some sort of viral gastoenteritis so we just had to let it pass. He was feeling better by the end of the day on Tuesday. Keenan was pretty much himself all day Tuesday, but when it came down to sleeping that night, he was up all night. I thought he had an ear infection because every time I would lay him down he would start screaming, so I took him to the doctor Wednesday morning. Keenan's ears were clear, and he had a low grade temp, so the NP was thinking he is teething, she did think he had a virus, but teething and virus have such similar symptoms. She said to treat it with Tylenol or Motrin. Keenan was not himself all day, we had to hold him to keep him pacified. I think it's because he did not sleep much the night before.

It's just not fun having sick kids!
