After spending the entire morning at the doctor, it seems the kids have mono. Are you kidding ME? MONO? I'm the only one they kiss, come on!
The Mono test was inconclusive, but, our genious doctor says "that is what I'm putting my money on." OK, thanks. I'm really not one to freak out, but Kennedy woke up several times in pain last night, and Hudson couldn't bend over to pick up his toy without crying in pain, and they both had fevers, so I saw whoever was available first thing. I thought about going for a second opinion, but the kids were tired, so I took them home and did what they said, which was Motrin and rest.
Bingo, they are both doing MUCH better.
Let me just give you an idea of my day: Kennedy was in a lot of pain, and after fighting with Hudson for my lap for most of the morning, and getting an x-ray and a finger-poke and a throat swab, as we were leaving the doctor's, she said to me, "I wish this day was just a dream." (please let this be the worst thing she ever has to go through, I dread the day she ever gets an ingrown toenail, or heaven forbid, has a baby...)
Several hours later, after a happy meal, bag of skittles, a couple of movies, a couple doses of Motrin (WONDER DRUG), and a mani-pedi from mom while laying on the couch, she told me, "I LOVE this day!" Hmmm....Dramatic, maybe? Hudson didn't really lose it until I took his hat off for his exam. He is so attached to his ballcap!
I am so greatful for my (mostly) healthy kids! I can't lie, I sorta enjoyed the extra lovin' today, particularly from the littlest, hardest-to-hold-on-to-little-one...
And since I did't think about taking pictures once today (rare), and since I can't post without pics, here are some random funny ones from when my kids were having better days than today.
Thats way sad :( sorry! give em kisses from me! -Jen
ReplyDeletePoor kids! Go a few posts down and check out the pictures of your kids in the lake holding FROGS! I think we found the cause of the sickness! Just kidding--kind of. I hope it's not mono, doesn't that last like three months?!? You should get a second opinion.
ReplyDeleteI hope they get feeling better it is so hard when your kids dont feel good. I love the picture of Hudson in the helmet very cute.
