It has been a very interesting week! I’ll try to piece it together…

Derek had a small fever Tuesday morning, which lasted a couple days, his highest fever was 102.7 (not too bad), but he was seriously cranky. On Thursday I finally took him into to the dr office. He in fact had an ear infection and a fever virus. So we got some antibiotics for the ear and the fever virus was supposed to go away on it’s on. When he wasn’t contagious anymore then he would get a rash.

That’s right…contagious…let’s back up a little. So Wednesday after supper Sophia walked straight over to the couch and laid down. She looked tired, so we covered her up and let her sleep for awhile. She woke up 45 minutes later. I felt her foot and it was on fire. I took her temp and it was 104.5. With her fever and her behavior, it was really scary!!

So between the ear infection and both kids having this fever virus, we got an average of 3-4 hours of sleep each night during the week!! It was a sure nightmare!!

Friday both the kids’ temperatures had finally come down, which resulted in both kids sleeping all night on Friday and Saturday. It was so nice to finally get a couple nights of full sleep.

However, the antibiotic that Derek is on made him really loose (if you know what I mean), so each morning we’ve had to wash down his entire room and clean his sheets!! It has also resulted in a really awful diaper rash.

We will make it through this!!!
