So, so, sick..

So, the kids have been passing around fevers for the last month. Lyr got strep throat and felt better immediately because of the antibiotics. Then Crew started with the fever a couple of weeks later. It lasted about 3 days on and off. I probably should have taken him in to the doc's, but it did go away. So last week Ari started with the fever. After a few days we could tell she was not getting better, so on Tues. night I took her to the doctor. What I should tell you now so that I am able to keep my children is that I had her fever under control with Motrin but when we decided to take her in to the doctor I decided to not give her her next dosage so that they could see she had a fever. (I know all mom's have done this, so that you don’t get there and because they have had med they are acting all fine and you feel dumb for taking them.) Well, when we got there they took her temp. and it was (no lie) 105 degrees. They went through 3 different thermometers before they were convinced it was right. This was really scary because I know that with a temp that high there is a risk of seizures. To make a long night and long story short, she tested positive for strep throat and also Influenza B. We stayed 2 hours until her fever went down. That consisted of being striped to her underwear and eating 2 popsicles. Wow, and to think that this is my third child you would think we have this parenting thing down. I felt so bad, she is feeling better now, I think. Just another lesson to learn. It is ok when you go to the doc and they tell you your kid is perfectly fine. One more thing. If you think this makes sense at all will you please comment. Jus thinks I am crazy and it doesn't make sense. Crew is a great big bro. He stayed right by Ari's side.
