Momma, I don't feel so good...

We kicked off last weekend with Brother being sick.  Feverish all weekend and just not himself by any means.  I took a sick day on Monday to take him to the doctor. Turned out that he had a double ear infection.  So, we got the meds and figured things would turn around.  Stayed home on Tuesday as well because the kids have to be fever free without using any medicine for 24 hours before they can return to day care.  So, Brother was a little bit back to himself on Tuesday morning- he was at least interested in playing with toys for a few minutes at a time.  But, after lunch fever returned and a horrible cough started.  We knew that he has cold induced asthma.  So, we gave him an Albuterol breathing treatment - expecting him to respond as he normally does - but no response.  Poor kid... So, I took Wednesday off as well and we headed back to the doctor.  The doctor decided to give him an oral steroid medicine to get his lungs opened up. When we went in his oxygen level was 92% - not good.  We were back up to 95% by the time we left office- so the medicine did the trick.

Poor little guy was so tired - he just slept the morning away.  By Wednesday afternoon- he was back and I mean back in full force!  While I don't like to see my kiddos sick - it was sorta nice to have a break from the 2 year old temper tantrums.  Oh boy - did we have a temper tantrum Wednesday night - thus, I knew he was feeling much better.

I felt so blessed when I returned to work on Thursday.  One of the classes that I team teach with created Lukkas a get well a card - complete with a puppy sticker on the inside!  -Completely driven by one of the students with a very precious message inside -it just touched my heart. 

So, with Brother on the mend, we were looking forward to enjoying a beautiful weekend.  The warm weather has set in and the long days make it feel like summer is here.

Our sun setting at 10pm! 

However, the sickness continues...

Now Sister has the fever and a horrible cough.  Sigh.... looks like we'll be resting up and disinfecting everything in the house this weekend.  Papa and I are also coming down with the cold... so the Jacobsen house is officially quarantined until we are all healthy again!
