saw the rash that Apryl was now sporting I was pretty certain she had strep throat. We got the doctor and let me tell you every kiddo in a 50 mile radius must be feeling like sh*t because they were packed. Fortunately, we had an appointment. We got back to our room fairly quickly and the girls were swabbed right away. By the time their Dr. came to the room their tests were both positive for strep and their Dr. decided that Alexys better be tested as well. So, of course she is positive also. During this time poor Apryl is starting to really suffer from a migraine. I mean she is writhing in pain and crying. I was at a loss of how to help her. She now is being checked for meningitis. Thankfully, it is just a sever migraine. So sever that I end up taking her to the urgent care at Children's later that night. No medication was helping her and I couldn't stand to see her suffer like that. The only problem was that I had to get the medication for Addy and Alexys before I could take her, and her meds also even though she couldn't take them due to being so nauseated. Finally got her to the urgent care and they helped her out right away. She was so dehydrated, it took five tries to get an IV started. She looked like a pin cushion. They were able to find a vein up high on her arm that would cooperate. After some time, okay, hours, she was feeling better. We got home after eleven, which isn't too bad for a trip to the ER. Trust me I know! I am keeping them both home from school and taking the boys to the Dr. today. Keep your fingers crossed that the boys do not have the same crud!Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Three for Three
Yesterday was a fun filled day for everyone...NOT!! Even though our oldest two daughters were still not 100% they both insisted upon going to school because they were having Valentine's Day parties. Before we got to school Apryl said that she thought she would need to see a doctor when school was over, so I went ahead and made her an appointment. Then I got to thinking and called the doctors office again and added Addysen to the appointment as well. I felt like, "enough is enough with this crap!" My Mommy was able to come over and hang out with the boys while I went to the school for the V-Day parties for a bit. I took the girls out of school ten minutes early and headed to the doctor, because when I
