Weekend Recap.

Okay, so when I left off my oldest whose 5 had a stomach bug, my middle whose 3 had pneumonia, and my little 7 month old just had a cough.. What a weekend it was.

The night of Halloween my 3 year old was complaining his legs were hurting, didn't think anything of it.. I just thought maybe the cold was bothering him. That night I noticed he was pretty warm & decided to take his temperature. It came out to be 100.3, I gave him some Motrin hoping it would help, he went to bed and was fine. For some odd reason I decided to look out his window. I did a double take, thinking I was half asleep, but I noticed our trampoline was almost in the middle of the road.. Yes, that's how bad the winds were. The wind flipped our heavy trampoline over our fence a few times and landed near the street. I wake up my husband it was around 4am and we go outside as it's pouring to take apart our trampoline. I was secretly hoping our neighbors would be getting ready for work and look out the window, but nope. Lol I was thinking were the only people out here in the weather taking apart a damn trampoline.. Come to find out two others had been doing the same thing we were doing, so I didn't feel so awkward.

Anyways, The next morning, I checked it again and it was 100.3, gave him some more Motrin and it went away. That night he was burning up like a pan had just came out of the oven. I take his temp and it turns out to be 102.6.. Panic mode sets in. I give him Motrin and my husband puts these Be Cool fever patches on his forehead to bring it down. But I noticed he had started to shake a little and his heart was racing. We decided it would be best for my husband to rush him down to the ER about 15-20 minutes away and I'd stay home with our oldest and little one since it was around 10pm.

Panic mode sets in again because my husband never texted me to let me know they got there safe. The weather was horrible that night, hurricane like winds and rain pouring down. So, I'm texting him and calling him.. Nothing. I text his mother to let her know what was going on  and she had told me to call the ER. I call the ER to make sure they were there and the receptionist let me know they had checked in. A few hours go by and I still hadn't heard anything. I call my mom freaking out so she had my brother in law call to see if he could be transferred. Well, its against the law to be transferred.. Few more house later around 1am my husband FINALLY calls me.. Our son has pneumonia. They did every test possible and found some water in his lungs, so they told him to give Motrin every 6 hours, Tylenol every 4 hours, and then his prescription every 12 hours for 10 days.

Meanwhile, on their way home my oldest Cameron wakes up out of nowhere and throws up... All over the couch '& rug. It was just bad.. My husband and Ethan get home around 1:30am and he seems perfectly normal, not a child that is sick. So, we stay up for awhile and I decide just to leave my husband on the big couch and Cameron on the love seat, so if he has to throw up it would just be easier to roll over and puke in the bucket.. Mind you Cameron still sleeps with my husband and I.. I know I know, don't judge lol. For the first time ever I let Ethan sleep with me. I couldn't let him this sick sleep in his room, I'd be up all night worried. We both must of fell asleep around 3am.

So, there is my weekend recap, what did you do this weekend?
