Weekly Update

This week has been a crazy one, so it is all getting compiled into one post....

Tuesday both Jake and Morgan came home from "school" completely hoarse. They actually sounded hilarious when they were trying to cry. It reminded me of a dog that had been de-barked...they could still get the sound out, but it was at a fraction of the normal volume!!! They were both very congested and had runny noses so we decided to take them to the pediatrician the next day.

Wednesday Aaron stayed home from work since MJ (Morgan and Jake) were sick and I scheduled a pedi appt. Fortunately, their pediatrician's office is only about 10 minutes from where I work so I was able to meet them for the appt. Dr Nail said that they both had a minor upper respiratory infection and an older sinus infection and put them on antibiotics. Fortunately, it was Amoxicillin which is bubble gum flavor and both MJ like it. He also told us that as long as they weren't running a fever they were okay to go to daycare.

So off they go to school on Thursday and I end up at the Dr's office with a sore throat, thanks to "Helga" (the loving name I have given my grossly enlarged right tonsil). My Dr said that it didn't look infected, but due to sinuses and post nasal drip, it was red and angry and that my right ear was also very impressive. I finally have a referral to an ENT so that I can have my tonsils taken out. I go on Monday and I hope they schedule me up soon!!!!
