We had a week off of Classical Conversations, so we decided to head up North for Spring Break. This time, Amy (my sister) and Elena, her daughter, came with us. My poor boys. Joshies had an ear ache on the 9 hour car ride up and was in bed for the next 4 days with a fever. The day after, Micah was hit. They both went in and out of sleep for several days. Finally on Friday (the day we were planning on heading home) I took them to see the local doctor. They were prescribed antibiotics and the next day they were improving. I was noticing Judah was starting to act sick so I wanted to head home right away.
I had a moment during the week where I could get a long look at my favorite lake. It was so pretty seeing the ice formations.
The kids had a blast with their cousin, beside all the sickness, and thankfully, she escaped it all and went home in good health.
After returning home, the next day I took Sophia to the doctor and found out she had strep. Judah was immediately tested and his test was also positive. Now our fridge had 8 bottles of amoxicillin. I asked the pharmacist if it came in gallons.
The first night I gave Judah his medicine he developed a rash all over one side of his face and his eye lid was all puffy and he started wheezing (we've found out this winter he has asthma so I've been watching for signs all along). I guess he's allergic to amoxicillin. Poor little guy was better after a breathing treatment.
Whew. What a week. I agree with Josh who said when it was all finished, "We missed Spring Break!! Can't we do it again??"
