Cold, Seasonal Flu & H1N1 Symptoms

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I got this great chart to help you decipher what sickness is going around in your house. As a mom, I am freaking out about H1N1, and this really helps to figure out what’s going on.  (That being said, always make sure you call your doctor for the proper medical care).

Guess Who’s Sick Now

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

I will be writing shortly about how out trip ended up turning out.  However, I’ve been laying in bed since we got home.  After running a 102 degree fever all day yesterday and not being able to get out of bed, I finally dragged my sick butt to the closest Urgent Care tonight after Bill got done with work.  I now have been sent to bedrest for the next day or so.  I have an upper respiratory infections and a bad case of bronchitis.

I’ll be taking another day or so to get myself healthy and then I’ll be blogging again.

Sick

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Sorry, I haven’t had a chance to write about my Sony trip to California.  Madison spiked a fever today and I haven’t had a chance to do much of anything.  She is pretty lethargic and crabby.  She snapped out of it for about an hour or two tonight, and then went right back into being crabby and sick.  I am hoping she is doing better tomorrow.

Madison has been fever free all day now!!!! Yeah!!!! She started doing better yesterday, and she is back to herself 100% now. In the sickness of the last couple of days, I also forgot to mention that Will cut his top two teeth. That means, he has 2 on the bottom and two coming in on the top. Woo hoo!!!

Since everyone is doing well at this point, that means Bill and I get to go on our planned vacation! Woo hoo! With the mess of this week though, I don’t have any of my travel supplies back. I mean none of it. Since we weren’t 100% sure if we were going, I didn’t want to jinx and pack. This evening I will have to pack for us. My MIL is coming to our house to watch the kids, so I don’t have to worry about packing for them. I am trying not to get too excited since the day isn’t over and something can still go wrong. (I know, always the pessimist.)

I am hoping to talk Bill into paying for the wireless internet while we are there. Its $40 for the week, and he doesn’t want to pay it. However, I do, so I’ll be an interesting plane flight. So, I may be posting while we are gone or may not be — we’ll see who wins. LOL

Madison Update: Influenza

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

I first need to thank Marisa and Kat for keeping me calm last night (I’ll link you guys after I get some sleep tonight).  They kept me calm when Madison’s fever spiked up to 105.7 last night.  We got it back down.
However, her fever spiked back up around 2 this afternoon to 102.3 which at that point I called the doctor.  I then gave her some Motrin again.  They got her in at 3:15, and we didn’t get back into the room until 4.  When they took her temp there, she was at 104.9.  They gave her some Tylenol, did a strep test, and a urinalysis.  They think she has influenza.  They think she’ll be over it by Thursday (we are suppose to leave for AZ Friday morning, so at this point, we have no idea if we are going yet).  However, I guess influenza is highly contagious, so they are worried that Will is going to get it.  Since he is only 8 months old, that would be very very bad.  We now have to give her Motrin and Tylenol alternating every four hours.

If I don’t get to post anything tomorrow, we are back at the doctors office.
