What a Sick Week
What a crazy week.
We started off with Cory having a fever Sunday night.
Upon waking Monday morning though, his fever was gone, but he did have a cough.
We are Dayquil/Nyquil users here and I didn’t have any other cough medicine around so that’s what I gave him.
He wanted to try making it through Statistics class at least, that and he needed to return his Mac to Rewind so we took him in a little late.
Ten minutes later the clinic at his school called to say he had a temp of 99 degrees and I need to come get him.
She accused me of giving him something to mask his fever so he could come to school.
I was slightly offended to say the least.
Number 1 ~ I checked his temperature and it was normal.
Number 2 ~ Tylenol doesn’t even touch his fever, ever. I’ve known him his whole life and let me just say that ibuprofen is the only thing that works.
He didn’t have the normal flu symptoms thank goodness, and I believe he had a sinus infection. So a course of antibiotics fixed him right up.
Myself on the other hand had every symptom possible, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, fever, and fatigue. Plus since I also have asthma I also had the wheezing and low oxygen saturation levels. I seriously spent almost an entire day hovering around 90 percent.
This sickness lasted for 3 whole days. YUCK!!!
I really did my best at trying to keep my germs away from everyone, but poor Cade has now come down with this yucky sickness.
The photo below was taken before he got sick, I had him scoop his own cookie dough in hopes of keeping them germ free.
Kudos to my wonderful hubby whom did his best at nursing me back to health. Luckily he hasn’t gotten sick.

So sorry that you were not feeling good. I hope that everyone is feeling better and that everyone stays healthy.
