The sickies

Well, we got a little worried for Madison this morning. She got up and told Bill she had to puke. She went into the bathroom and started dry hacking. She then wanted some water (which we gave her) and that stayed down. She looked really pale, but said she felt fine. We even checked her temperature, and she was fine. She ended up in the bathroom one more and nothing. She just got up now from a nap, and she’s starting to act like herself again. She’s eating a piece of bread, and she was just acting goofy. Even so, I told Bill he couldn’t bring her to the South Side Parade today. (For those of you who don’t know what this is, let me explain. The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day on the South Side Of Chicago there is a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Now, I have never been to this before. However, from what I have heard, it really is just an excuse for people to drink and get drunk. Now, I may be wrong about that, but I just don’t think it is a good environment for little ones. When we were coming home from the party last night, Bill made a comment about bringing the kids. I think he also knew he should start looking at getting some life insurance quotes if he did, since he know my feelings on this.) Madison seems fine now, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed.  Sick kids make for a miserable house!

Update on the sick kids

Madison is still running a fever anywhere between 100 – 104 degrees.  As soon as the Motrin Cold kicks out, her fever spikes back up.  As soon as the Motrin Cold kicks in, her temperature goes back down, and she starts acting like herself.  I feel bad for her.  I am seriously considering keeping her home tomorrow from preschool even if her temp is down.  She looks pretty pale.  She’s not real big on eating either.

On the Will front, well, I had to take him to the doctor today.  I was right with what I thought he had.  He has impetigo.  He has a sore right where the elastic of his diaper rubs.  The sore is about the size of a penny (it started out the size of a pimple).  I have been putting antibiotics on it for a week now.  However, on Sunday, he got another sore (pimple size) on another part of his leg.  At that point, I figured it was impetigo.  Since that is contagious and we have the whole vacation thing going on, I figured I better take him in.  They just put him on an oral antibiotic.

Keep your fingers crossed that they both are better by the end of the week.
