What a week!!!!!



Well it all started Tuesday night! The kids were bathing, Finlee in her duck bath tub and Ford in front of her in the real tub. he was helping me pour water into her tub with his bucket. Well the bucket fell and knocked Finlee on the head! SHE SCREAMED!!!! But seemed ok. The next day I noticed that she appeared to have some broken blood vessels on that side of her face where the bucket fell. So I took her to the doctor. The doctor referred to it as "road rash", soft tissue breakage since they have such sensitive skin and saidthat she was fine, but that she did have an ear infection. She has had a cold, but showed no signs of her ear hurting. I have a feeling she is going to be just like Ford with the ea infections but we are praying not! She was put on Zithromax for three days whic hsuited me because the less days she is on medicine, the better. She hates to take anything and it is quite a challenge. Basically Thursday night Jolee and I had to pin her down and hold her head to get her to take it. She spit a lot out but did get some. Friday night she got the whole dose in. Friday night was Parents Bight Out so we dropped the kids off with Brenda and went on our Valentine's date. We got back to pick the kids up and she was wet when Brenda handed her to me. We thouht she just peed a lot, but then the projectile vomitting started!! It went everywhere!!!! Needless to day she did that for the next hour! She was so empty that she was dry heaving. We eventually called the doctor and took her to the 24 hour Pediatric urgent care where ofcourse she acted completely back to normal. They decided maybe the medicine was too strong and told us to break up her dose! Yesterday she was not very hungry but not puking. She would only nurse though, no bottle! Well this morning Ford wakes up super early and walks into our room. We tell him to go back to bed and he says no. He repeatedly says no, so we walk him back to bed to find a bed full of throw up!!! They must have had some 24 hour bug. He has not thrown up since but has no appetite and that is not like Ford at all. He just now ate some applesauce and has kept that down!! Let me tell you, when it rains with sickness it pours!
