Trick-or-Treat??

Nathan ended up going trick-or-treating. He had been fever-free for 3 days, so we let him go with Eldon and Holly. They have gone in my Mom's neighborhood for years together. My Mom and Larry are very active on their Homeowner's Association board, so the kids totally score on the candy...like they need it!
Nathan is a hockey player,(he wasn't too thrilled with his costume, but we had to put something together last minute) Holly is a dark bride, and Eldon is an jailbird. They're so cute.
Holly with all of her candy.
Nathan separated his candy when he got home. He got 7 full-sized candy bars, and 2 religious pamphlets...I think from Jehovah's Witnesses.
Nathan's favorite.
16 Reese's. Does life get any better??

Happpy Halloween!

The cutest furry witch ever! What would we do without our sweet Molly? How would we entertain ourselves? Doesn't she look thrilled with her Halloween costume? There is a cape that goes with the hat, but she wouldn't stop chewing on it, so only a hat for her this year.
Happy Halloween MollyMo Stinky Butt. Thanks for the unconditional love...sorry we torture you so...

Kyle's Turn...H1N1

Kyle woke up at 3 a.m. with almost 104 degree fever...bummer...huge bummer!! Poor baby. We just returned from the Dr and he was prescribed Tamiflu. Usually, they do not give it to children or people who can fight off the bug by themselves, however Kyle has bad asthma and is allergic to nearly all anti-biotics...so he is taking it. Our Dr is great and had to call the Dept of Infectious Diseases and wait on hold for over 30 minutes to justify the prescription. Okay, today was my 6th day in a row to the Drs. office...and the 10th day of sick kids...and 5 days before that I was sick. Is someone playing a bad joke on me?? It's NOT FUNNY!!

How Is Nathan Feeling??

BETTER!!! Finally!!!
We went the doctor today for an asthma re-check and because his fever was still over 102 last night, but he was improving slightly. The Dr. told me he "most likely" has the H1N1 virus, but they did not test him because they are treating him already. And Nathan is done with Drs. and tests! Thanks for the prayers and phone calls, especially to Aunt Donna and Grammy!
Above is a picture of the jeans we picked up today (after being tailored) at Nordstroms today. Thanks Grammy for the beautiful jeans. You spoil him...oh you spoil both of them really badly!! We love you!!

Kyle's Breakfast

It's really difficult for me to find a good breakfast for Kyle. He has to be at school by 6:30 every morning, so many times he just grabs a power bar. I try to give him something to wake him up and get through until lunchtime. I've started making yogurt, granola, and berries in a bowl. It is really yummy, and he can eat it on the run if he needs to.
Looks so healthy and yummy. Have a great day my Sweet High Schooler!!

Nathan Relapsed...Poor Kid

Nathan has been to the Dr. every day for 4 days in a row. On Saturday night he was up all night with a migraine headache and fever. SO... on Sunday we waited for 3 hours at Urgent Care!! He returned on Monday to see his regular Pediatrician. He has had sinus X-Rays, a full blood work-up, a vision test, and is being referred to a neurologist for further testing. His asthma is horrible, he has 103.8 degree fever, sore throat, bad cough, fatigue, headaches, and body aches. He is on anti-biotic, 2 inhalers, breathing nebulizer, Motrin, Tylenol, and nose spray. He is not complaining too much, just laying on the couch all day. Sometimes I check on him and he's sleeping and sometimes he has tears running down his cheeks. I hate it when my kids are sick.
Here he is with his nebulizer. Say a prayer for a speedy recovery.
