our week

 What a crazy week!!  We started on Sunday with Tommy complaining he didn't feel good and was running a high fever along with a nasty sounding cough, so Monday morning we went to the doctor turns out he had strep again & a nasty virus that is going around (we go Tuesday for an ENT consult) and since Thomas is a stubborn stinker, had to get an antibiotic shot & another one Wednesday. Our doctor checked Nathan while we were there and he had it too, so he got a prescription.  Tommy ran between 103-105 for four days before he finally had a normal temperature again. He was so high because he refuses medication, I can't force it in him. If I try it orally he makes himself throw up, even if I try to hide it in something and if I try to do it rectally, he still manages to get it out.  Stubborn stinker!!  Although Tommy was doing much better, just coughing still on Wednesday Nathan started coughing and running a high (104) temperature.  Since he is already on antibiotics for the strep & I know it is the virus that Tommy had, we didn't go back in.  Nathan is still running a fever but I am able to keep it down with meds. I stress with Nathan having a fever since he has had seizures in the past.  This morning David woke up complaining that his throat hurts and coughing!  Does it ever end?! I love that my boys are sharing, but really, we don't need to share our germs and illnesses!! 

We did go to our baseball games today though, Tommy's team played first and of course won, he had a couple good hits and had fun digging in the dirt while playing shortstop.  David's team also won today 11-1, they called the game early due to "mercy rule" which is one team is up by 10, now his team is 3-0 for the season! David played catcher the entire game too. 

The little boys have spent most of their week on the couch sleeping it off.  Tommy even missed 2 days of school and baseball!
