Everbody Update
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
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.
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.
