Down and Out

The kids have been sick with fevers.  Andrew’s started on Wednesday with a bad cold. The first two days he was functioning but on Friday his temperature rose and he wasn’t feeling good at all.  By Sunday he seemed to back to himself again.  The doctor said it was just a virus so there wasn’t much to do besides waiting it out.

Piper’s fever started on Thursday and was very high with a sore throat.  She’s been down and out the whole time.  She still had a fever Monday morning along with a bad cough so we were back at the doctor today.  The doctor heard wheezing in her lungs so an x-ray was taken to rule out pneumonia.  She gave her an inhaler to help with the cough.  We hope she’s fever free tomorrow..It’s been a long few days.IMG_9459 Andrew was up and working on his beads Thursday.  He wasn’t letting his fever get him down.  This day he created himself, blue bear and Piper.  (The P for Piper looks correct on the melted side.)IMG_9461 IMG_9470Resting on the couch on Friday.  You know they don’t feel good when they take naps during the day.  Especially PiperIMG_9484 The view from the doctor’s office.  That’s the Santa Anita Racetrack in the background.IMG_9480Piper had to sit with this device on to help open her lungs so the doctor could hear better. She said it made breathing a lot easier until it wore off.
