Sick bugs...

It has been a hard few weeks for Cole.. He has woken up so sick the past two Sundays, (not this last one..) The first Sunday I took him to Instacare because I was certain he had Strep.. He did.. It took him four or five days to recover from that.. The following Saturday night (just a few days later) he was up all night, saying he had a headache.. I was thinking maybe still the strep.. Sunday he just laid on the couch, burning with fever, headache and oh so sad... By 5:00 pm he was so hot and just crying about how bad his head hurt.. So it was off to Instacare yet again.. They were concerned about Meningitis, but after some checking thought it probably wasn't that, but that he was dehydrated. They told us to watch him really close, and if he got worse to take him to the hospital... So I sat up all night with him (lost count as to how many times we did this) just to make sure he was going to be OK... Still sick Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.. Thursday felt better and went to school.. Thursday night he said he didn't feel well and had a cough... Up all night Thursday with fever and cough.. Never moved off the couch all day Friday... His birthday was Saturday and he was OK, but still not Cole.. I had bought him a strawberry bouquet, and he didn't even want any.. That's when you know he is not OK... He didn't want to open his gifts or anything.. He did muster up some energy to go bowling, that was it... :) Sunday was better, and hopefully we are back to the old Cole.. :) NO MORE SICK BUGS!!!! And through all of this with Cole, Jaden and Ryker managed to get Croup... Jade lost his voice (which was nice for a few days) and that was about it.. Ryker on the other hand was so so sick.. It was so sad... Poor baby.   We are ready for summer and healthy kiddos.. :)
