The next weekend was crazy at our house. All three kids had medical attention. Jayson had really bad allergies. He asked what he could take and I told him we had Zyrtek, Claritin and benedryl. He said he had tried those. When I asked which one he said all three today. Great idea! I took him to the doctor and they gave him allergy eye drops and singular and said continue with the Zyrtek. He also had bronchitis and a sinus infection as a result of the allergies. He said, "So taking 3 isn't enough. Here is some more. If you are still alive next week come see me." Hollie had a fever that afternoon and that evening she started having difficulty breathing. We took her to instacare and the doctor there called an ambulance. They took us to Primary Children's Hospital and we spent the night there. They determined it was a virus. It was not the flu or swine flu or pneumonia. Then, the next afternoon we took Tanner to insta-care for a mosquito bite. He needed an anti-biotic for it. This is the fifth time he has needed an anti-biotic for a mosquito bite. The pediatrician told me once that he has staff on his skin and when a mosquito bites it pushes the infection into his blood stream. His calf was swollen and warm to the touch and had a red circle about 5 inches across.
Tanner is in swimming lessons. I am continuing to go to school. It is not easy to focus on studying and wanting to attend school when the kids are home having fun.
Hopefully things will settle down and we will have a great summer.
