well...

i had thought we'd just have a simple sinus infection...but, nope!

camryn stayed home from school monday, because my super smart mother-in-law said that camryn's rash might be impetigo.  and if it was impetigo it is super contagious, so we decided to be safe rather than infect her entire class.  we called ucla and they said if it gets worse go to urgent care, if not they'd see her on tuesday.  

well, monday morning wyatt woke up feeling lousy...he was crying, complaining that his stomach hurt, his throat.  now, i will be honest we didn't know whether or not it was real or just sympathy pains since camryn was staying home.  but, he didn't seem himself so we opted to let him stay home and he'd have a day to kick whatever it was.

well, when i got home monday he was even worse and running an 101 temp. so, it was real.  he was complaining about everything, camryn was complaining too...all around monday night was not fun.  and worst of all i was starting to feel horrible.

i woke up tuesday and felt awful, i braved work while jason took camryn to ucla, and wyatt stayed home with my parents.  i made it through to 9:30 and by then it was a full-blown i'm sick and it feels like strep throat...great!  i called wyatt's doctor as he wasn't any better and tuesday morning i had looked at his tonsils and they were HUGE...they said bring him in asap and so i left work, got wyatt, and headed to dr.k's office.  all the while jason was navigating ucla with camryn.

once camryn got to ucla one look from dr.m and it was confirmed she had impetigo.  he was very concerned as it appeared to be approaching her eye and if it did that would be very problematic, even leading to vision loss.  dr.m had even thought of maybe admitting camryn for iv antibiotics it was so bad...honestly, when does this girl get a break.  he did not admit her, but prescribed two high powered antibiotics, and said he would see her again on friday. (so much for 3 trips to ucla, now it's 4 and probably more) he said if it gets any worse can immediately and of course in our world that means an ER visit and admittance.  wonderful.

meanwhile, dr.k confirmed that wyatt had strep throat and also peeked at my throat...yep, we were strep throat victims.  she prescribed wyatt antibiotics and told me to call my doctor for some as well.  my doctor being great called in a prescription for me so we'd have a grand total of 4 antibiotics waiting for us at cvs.  awesome.

i called jason and got the update and gave him our update...he decided to take the rest of the day off.  really, 3 out of the 4 of us were sick and it was just a lousy day.  he told me to meet him at cvs and then he'd get mine, wyatt's, and camryn's medicine and i could go home with wyatt and camryn.  when we got home wyatt and i got in bed and camryn who really isn't feeling sick played and played.  

well, wyatt went to school today and camryn and i have been home.  i am going back tomorrow and camryn, well we'll see...dr.m said no school through friday, but she is hoping she can go tomorrow afternoon as it is grandparents day and she wants to go so badly!  i'm hoping he will be gracious and grant her wish...after all he truly does love this little girl.

so, that's been our week.  jealous?  honestly, i haven't been this sick in a long time...and really 3 of us has proven that jason has a heart of gold.  poor guy...hoping we are better soon, so he doesn't have to take care of everything.  and really hoping he doesn't get sick either.

hopeful you and yours are staying healthy this holiday season!
