When it rains it pours. Or at least for Noah it has this week. Poor boy, has been through it!!!!
-Last Sunday he gets bit for the first time by a classmate at Sunday School. (see previous post)
-On Friday he woke up with a fever of about 99.9 degrees, but I still let him play outside for a while since it felt so good out ( this fall weather is amazing), and he got into an ant bed. His poor little legs were covered in black dots as Momma hurriedly wiped them away and went for the water hose.
-Saturday night after our date we came home to a mopey boy with 101 fever, and it continued to go up till it reached 102 at about 11p.m., Drew slept in his twin bed with him all night to keep an eye on him (my hubby loves his boy).
-Saturday after our Garage sale, Momma finished up and Noah was still feeling bad and still had a temp, we honestly thought it was his top 2 year old molars, you can actually feel them coming in. But Daddy decided we should look at his throat, Noah had been complaining that his tongue hurt. Sure enough after looking on the internet for similiar pics, and a visit to MEA, it was diagnosed as STREP THROAT.
-Antibiotics purchased and headed home, Noah played in the yard for a bit, AND got stung by a yellow jacket. I mean really......... so Momma went for the baking soda and water mixture and made it all better.
-The past 3 nights have been ridiculous for Daddy that is, getting up for Tylenol or Ibuprofen doses, or just regular irritable-ness from Noah. All this and sharing a twin size bed with Noah. Praying that he doesn't get it too.
Drew and I have realized through this that this is what people talk about when they say:
1. when you have one kid it is like playing 2 on 1
2. when you have 2 kids you have to play man on man.
3. when you have 3 kids you have to start playing zone. ( Not quite ready for this yet, I'm pretty worn out.) (yet I still have time to blog , AMAZING, huh)
Getting Noah to eat is another story, so after: ice cream, popscicles, beef noodle soup, cheddar broccoli soup, apple sauce, mashed bananas, peaches, capri suns 100% juice,..... a multitude of other options, he opens the pantry and wants the exact thing that hurts his throat the most, goldfish and cheddar sun chips, AND he eats them too, I guess it is worth it to him.
Glad we got Chloraseptic Spray for his throat.
Here is our Sunday afternoon, still contagious, and after being cooped up on the house not going to church Noah needed some time outside.
He doesn't really look all that sick does he.
