Our health report

I have a list of things to blog about, some recipes to post, and I've been working on a few layouts tonight, but since we've got several sick ones in the house right now I just don't have the energy (I'm one of the sick ones - although probably the best of the bunch)! Poor little Cougar has had a terrible cold for at least a week now with fever, gross snotty nose, cough, and trying to cut 2 eye teeth on top of it all! Lucky for me that sweet boy is just as happy when he's sick for the most part ... just not sleeping quite as well. Ashton came home from school early today because her teacher called and said she just wasn't herself and complained about not feeling well. She went to the nurse and wasn't running a fever so they wouldn't send her home but I picked her up based on her teacher's recommendation. She looked lethargic but didn't feel warm so we headed home and got her into some PJs so she could rest on the couch and watch a movie. Within the hour she was reading 102.4 degrees!! 2 hours on Motrin only brought her down to 101.5 degrees. Two hours on Tylenol and she was still above 101 degrees. Clearly not feeling well and now complaining about her head, neck, and stomach hurting. It wasn't long before she started throwing up - joy. She's already been up twice in the last hour to throw up and is back at 102.4 degrees so I have a feeling it may be a very long night. I hate when my kids are sick because I feel so helpless!! It does give me an excuse to slow down and take those extra minutes to cuddle, though. Maybe that's just what I need to help me feel better :) Either that or I'll start throwing up just as soon as Ashton is feeling better. I promise to post something with pictures tomorrow ... way too much text going on right now!!
