Sick babies

All week Korbyn has been fussy off and on.  Sometimes absolutely nothing else will soothe her and the only thing I can do is give her Tylenol and then she's fine.  Thursday when I got back to the daycare they told me they think she was running fever and she hasn't finished a bottle yet.  I check her temperature and it's 102.2!  I call the dr. right away hoping we can be seen right then (usually they can get you into one of the dr.s) but the soonest they had was at 9 a.m. on Friday.  So I take her home and continue to give her Tylenol.  I have to give it to her every 3-3 1/2 hours because she would be burning up.  Even with the Tylenol her temperature never went below 100.  And you could just tell in her cry that she felt miserable...it breaks my heart just thinking about it.  So she was up every 3-4 hours that night when her medicine would wear off and would only drink maybe 3 ounces at a time.  So we get to the dr. and find out we have our very first ear infection!!!  It was really sad.  The dr. put her on the table and looked in her right ear and Korbyn was just looking around and when she went to look in her left ear she started screaming!  Poor thing.  They put her on amoxicillin (the only thing I'm allergic to) and she told me to keep her on the Tylenol for the next couple of days. 

Last night was a rough night again.  She's fine while she's on Tylenol, but when it starts to wear off you can tell she's in so much pain.  So of course she woke up every four hours again last night.  She's doing ok today, she's not as lethargic and she's wanting to play a lot more so that's a good sign.  I just feel so sorry for her!

Then of course Colton calls me on his way home yesterday and tells me he is going to the dr. because he feels awful.  Whoa!  This man has only been to the dr. once since I've known him so I know he must be feeling really bad.  We immediately think he has the flu because one of the guys that stays down there with him where he's been working had it last week.  He thankfully gets in to a dr. in town Friday afternoon and he has an upper respiratory infection!  So he also is put on antibiotics.  He came home took his medicine and went to bed.  He said he's feeling much better today but he still has a nasty cough.

As if the day couldn't get any better...

I put Korbyn to bed around 8:30, I was going to hop in the shower and eat some lasagna I had just taken out of the oven and just relax when I decided to let the dogs out because they hadn't been out in a while.  I went out with them and waited on the front porch when all of a sudden I hear a loud thud and Pixie starts barking and I see Rocky come running around the corner of the house and then starts rolling in the ground, I'm thinking what the hell!?  Then I smell it...a skunk!  Rocky had been sprayed right in the face by a skunk!!!  I just kind of stood there thinking "are you kidding me?  Tonight of all nights this had to happen!?"  and it wouldn't have been a big deal but they are house dogs and we just took his big outside kennel down the other weekend because he never uses it, well we sure could have used it then!  I didn't know what to do so I go in the bedroom and tap Colton on the shoulder and tell him.  He rolls over and kind of laughs and says "get some tomato juice."  Well I didn't have any tomato juice so I have to look up a recipe on the internet.  Colton bathed Rocky and I bathed Pixie who fortunately didn't get sprayed but needed a bath anyway.  He got sprayed on the back porch so of course it smelled like it in our house and we couldn't get the smell completely off of him but you can't really smell it unless you get right next to him.  I think we were just both so exhausted that we didn't even care!  So today I opened up all the windows and let Rocky stay outside for a long time and I think we're good now.

Ugh!  Could this weekend get any more exhausting!?  Thankfully Korbyn took about an hour nap with me a while ago and I feel a little more energized, but still really tired.  I guess I'll just hang out and take care of all my sick, and stinky babies :)

I took these all today.  She was playing and talking away on her mat when I went to go check on her and this is how she was!  She accidentally pulled her bow down over her mouth and when she saw me she smiled really big...underneath the bow :)

 Talking away!
