Sick.

Well my last post was two weeks ago from Saturday and I posted that we were going to Monster Jam that night and Easton was starting to feel and look and little sick. Well by the time it came to leave that night he looked like SHIT. He and Cameron both crashed on the couch around 3 and we had to leave around 5 to meet our friends for dinner. Well when they woke they were both hacking away, we seriously had no business taking them out, let alone taking them out to a restaurant to eat. But what were we going to do?! Tell them we are not going to Monster Jam....ah NO, they have been looking forward to this for months. Neither was running a fever and Easton is the one that looked real bad but once we got to the Arena he perked up and was excited and had a blast.

So Sunday rolls around and Easton is totally fine but nowt it's Cameron who has a fever and is looking sluggish. He was pretty calm all day {which is so not like him} he took a nap and ran a fever off and on all day. Oh and I forget to mention Bentley also started coughing and was getting congested Saturday {which I was not happy about because he never got over his last little cold that had lasted the last month or so} and he started running a fever late Sunday night. So Monday all three are coughing and had snotty running noses. Bentley started wheezing and it was slowly getting more noticeable and he was still running a fever off and on.

Tuesday Bentley is still running a fever and his wheezing is getting worse. He was like almost panting. I called the advice nurse several times in just a few days and finally Tuesday night I called and said I want to bring him in and have him looked at because it was getting worse and he looked like shit. Surprisingly he wasn't that cranky, not like he should have been. Oh and then when I picked up Cameron from school Tuesday afternoon he looked exhausted and fell asleep on the way home {which is only like a 10 minutes away}. We got home and he passed back out and was also running a fever.

Wednesday rolls around {the day I got my tooth pulled...eeeeeekkkk, I survived!} So after my dental appointment I took Bentley to the Doctor. Turns out he has ear infections in both ears and was a wheezing fool. His wheezing sounded so bad by this time, Ryan came home from work and was like, you need to take him now! So we got some antibiotics for the eat infection and some Albuterol for his wheezing.
Bentley started getting better within a couple of days. With the humidifier on full blast and the inhaler with Albuterol plus the Amoxicillin he was on his way to being healthy. But the other sick child....Cameron, he laid in bed for days with a fever and terrible cough. After several more phone calls to the Doctor's office once again I said we have been patient enough and I want to bring him in. So the following Monday {a week of running a fever and laying in bed} he went to the doctor. Turns out he also has a double ear infection and Pneumonia and he was prescribed Albuterol as well. His eyes were also all junked up and red so he got some eye drops too. And within a couple of days he was feeling better also. And by the end of the week he was back to his normal wild self. And can I just tell you giving medicine to a 5 year old SUCKS ASS!!! So freaking dramatic!!! Finally after a week now it only takes him a couple minutes to drink the Amoxicillin and he doesn't mind the inhaler anymore. Oh and then the same day Cameron went to the doctor Easton was complaining about his eye. It started getting red and puffy and he was saying it hurt. So back to the doctor I went on Tuesday with Easton. Nothing major just a little eye infection from being sick so we got some eye drops for him too. And now I think everyone is healthy. The kids still have little coughs but nothing like it was.  Cameron is loud and dramatic and bossy so I know he is feeling fine. I also had a little cold in the middle of all that and both Ryan and I have minor sore throats that come and go {very annoying}.

All of the meds for the kiddos.....B hated his inhaler at first but I kinda made it a game and now he laughs and giggles:))

This is what Cameron did for the first 4 days or so...then he moved to the couch in the playroom.

I am so glad they are feeling better. Even though the house was quiet for a few days and Cameron was mellow, I hate to see him so sick. We were really getting worried there when he wasn't getting any better and the fever wouldn't really go away. And then poor Bentley...my little baby....really looked like crap and he wasn't getting any better either. At least now we have the inhalers on hand just is case this crap comes back. I sure hope this is it. I know it has been a bad cold/flu season and I hope everyone in bloggy land is staying healthy:)

Eureka Part 2

If you missed part 1 click here.

After we hung out at the beach for awhile we headed to downtown Arcata {so exciting}, I did find a cute little pair of heart sterling silver stud earrings {which did not break out my ears} because for whatever reason I forgot to put in my earrings when we left the house Tuesday and felt naked without them. We checked out a few shops then headed back to the hotel for the night to hang out and babysit all the baseball players to make sure they were staying out of trouble and also have some much needed drinks.

The boys went in the spa with Daddy and loved it. Cameron had been asking from the very moment we got there if we could go into the spa.

Playing with the moon dough.



So Thursday morning was another 10 o'clock game. So the kids and I drop Ryan off at the field {we hauled around the equipment since we have the truck} and go back to the hotel to finish getting ready and to get Beth {our friend who is married to the head coach}. My plan was to get the kids some hash browns at Carl's Jr. across the street because the morning before we had went to the continental breakfast and the kids just made a huge mess and didn't eat a single thing {they hardly eat anything for breakfast anyway}. So I am paying for the hash browns and I can hear Cameron in the back seat PUKING! He just started to throw up all over himself and his car seat.

Poor guy didn't know what was going on and why he just got sick all over himself. He said he felt fine and wanted to go to the game. Obviously we didn't go. He didn't puke for another couple hours and when he did, he got sick on the bed.......all over the hotel bed......good thing housekeeping was just at the room next door. Then he started feeling crappy. He wanted to be all wrapped up but his body was hot. So when Ryan got back from the game he took the car seat to the car wash and sprayed it off and then we were stuck at the hotel for the rest of the day. All boys kept coming by to see how little Cameron was doing. He slept for the rest of the day waking up to drink and snack on goldfish every now and then.

So Ryan took Easton with him to dinner at Samoa Cookhouse with the team. That's why I wasn't able to get any pictures because my child decided to get sick and I forgot to send the camera with Ryan. We did manage to get him up and moving later that night. We all walked across the street to the store and he seemed to be doing better.

So Friday morning it was time to pack up all our shit and head out. We manage to be on the road at 8:30 {still took forever to get home}. This is the worse drive of my life. My head is turned to the back holding the barf bucket asking him every 5 minutes if he's going to be sick. Well about 2 minutes after I ask him if he's going to be sick he freaking throws up! Only a little got on his shirt because I had the bucket right there. And as we are pulling off on the side of the road he asks, "why are we stopping", it was so cute.

So we manage to make it home without anymore throwing up....thank goodness. And for the next couple days he is sluggish and still not eating for much. We can tell he back to normal because he is the biggest pain in the ass {just doesn't listen.......so frustrating!}.

So now 2 am Monday morning comes along.......and......guess who is sick now?! Easton.

Puke all over his crib {which he can now climb out of} his blanket, his sheets, just all over, and it was nasty! And now Ryan and are starting to feel crappy also. Easton would puke all morning until about 9am then was just kinda out of it the rest of the day. Meanwhile I feel like my head is going to explode. I felt nauseous {although never did throw up} and crappy all day and I still had to take care of Easton and deal with crazy Cameron.

And yesterday Ryan was throwing up and today he stayed home from work. He is feeling a lot better today, more like recovering from yesterday. So weird. Not sure exactly what is was. At first I thought Cameron drank the spa water or something or he had a bad McChicken from McDonald's, guess it was just a virus he spread on to the rest of us. I just hope we didn't infect anyone else.

Sorry to ramble on and on about throw up. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!
