The road I didn't want to travel

We had a very busy weekend. Full of fun and friends. Music class and friends over for dinner Friday, a baby shower and a combined birthday party on Saturday, church and Life Group on Sunday...Whew, it makes me tired just looking at all that together!!


We all went to bed Sunday night feeling fine...Monday morning Christian woke up with a pretty bad cough. As the day went on he started sneezing and had a fever. He spent the day going from couch to couch and even took a nap. (He never takes naps anymore) By the time he woke up he was blazing...temp was 105' :( We started alternating Motrin/Tylenol and took a cool bath to get the temp down. He went to bed with a 103' temp and slept okay...woke up once and we gave him more Tylenol. He still had a slight temp this morning and the doctors office wanted to see him.

"let's just cover our bases" they said, "probably something viral" they said...After two swaps of the nose/throat we tested positive for Strep throat and the Flu!!!!

I have tried my hardest to avoid it, but now he is down with both. We are now on antibiotics and Tamiflu (very expensive by the way) for the next 5-10 days. He acts okay as long as we keep him pumped up with Motrin and Tylenol, but you can tell a huge difference when that all starts to wear off. Tamiflu should do its wonders in the next two days.

I can only pray that Baylor some how escapes it
