This is the topper to one hell of a weekend. I call it 4 year old put through the wringer. Friday night/Saturday morning we spent at Nighttime pediatrics. I felt bad all day Friday and thought I was catching a cold from Max. Jarrett's grandma picked him up from school, so no worries there. Max came home and you could tell he didn't feel well. We rested in my room, watching tv for a while. I was freezing!! Max was burning up! I took his temperature and it was 102.8! So when Daddy got home, I told him to eat and don't get too comfy, we're going on a journey. I'm glad we had an appointment because everyone in Annapolis had to be there. And if we weren't already sick, we would be after waiting for hours in that crowd. They took us both together and did a flu test on both of us. Max had the flu but surprise I have bronchitis! And they gave me a nebulizer. We picked up all the meds at CVS and finally went home. Mikey was a trooper, he had been awake almost 24 hours by that point. Max had a dose of Tamiflu and went to bed. A second dose later and he starts breaking out in little red spots. By Sunday covered in red welts like we beat him or something. But no trouble breathing and no itching so the after hours nurse said stop the Tamiflu and see the doctor in the morning. Meanwhile, my mother is getting sick and sounding worse and worse. Kenny calls Sunday to say Jarrett has a high fever and is vomiting and they are headed to the E R. He is getting over the flu and has bronchitis. He never had any flu symptoms! The really annoying part is that he said he was giving him ibuprofen every 3 hours and obsessively taking his temperature. He called me yesterday and asked how Jarrett was doing. He was fine, no fever. He asked me to take his temperature and call him back. He did that twice. He also reminded me about 5 times that he takes his medicine 2 times a day for ten days. This is the same man that can't buy Zyrtec or Excedrin or Eucerin body wash (things Jarrett actually needs) but he acts like I have never taken care of a sick child before. Never mind the fact that he was overdosing him on Motrin. I feel better but i have sick people to take care of. Max is on Benadryl for his "allergic reaction beyond hives" as the doctor put it. Mom has bronchitis and has been to the doctor 2 days in a row and has to go back tommorrow. Jarrett feels ok and went to school today. Hopefully, Kimmy won't have the baby until we're all well enough to see her!
