minor setback

We had a minor setback this weekend with Lucas.  On Sunday evening Lucas started running a high temp of 99 degrees.  I gave him some Tylenol and put him to bed.  At 1:00 Monday morning I heard him crying and since he has a cold and bad cough, he sounds kinda hoarse (poor buddy).  I went in and he was burning up.  I took his temp and it was 101.8 so I gave him some more Tylenol.  He took half the dropper and started dry heaving (it was awful).  He was crying and I got pretty scared.  He then threw up a little and he was not too happy about that.  I then got him calmed down and tried the rest of the dropper and rocked him to sleep.  I laid him down and then he started dry heaving again.  I picked him up and ran to the bathroom where he started throwing up again.  I was very scared and with the new medicine he is on for the reflux and the fact he was running a temp, I decided to bring him to the ER.  When I got to Blank there was no one in the waiting room so we got in right away.  The Dr. discovered he has an ear infection in his right ear.  Poor guy!  He also had to have a catheter, but thankfully no UTI!!!  We got home about 4 am and slept in until 7 and then we snuggled in bed until 9.  We were all pretty tired most of the morning as both Andrew and Jacob are getting over upper respiratory infections.  So needless to say we haven't been sleeping the greatest in our house.

here's a nice picture of our big boy at his 5 year well child

Lucas is feeling better!

Andrew also took quite a spill on his bike tonight too.  He fell mouth first on the sidewalk and nearly knocked out his two front teeth.  It looks pretty bad, but he is so tough that he cried for only 5 minutes and then went back to playing with his friends.  I have a picture, but will have to add it later.  I will be staying home with all three boys tomorrow as the baby would not be ready to go to daycare, Andrew needs to go to the Dentist and Jacob isn't feeling the greatest either.

right after the spill OUCH!

later that night

this afternoon.

 To note, the Dentist said that we are going to watch his teeth.  The front teeth will fall out soon and not long after the teeth next to it will fall out.  Poor guy, he is sooooooooooooo tough!
