Arugh! Our little Joe-Joe was just getting better when on Saturday I realized he had a fever. Yesterday, he pretty much laid around on the couch all day. His fever got up to 103.6 last night, so I determined he needed to see the ped. She thinks he has a bladder infection. She did a ua on him and saw that he has some blood in his urine and an elevated white blood cell count in his urine as well. She prescribed an antibiotic for him to start and said she’d know more tomorrow. Last week when we thought Chet had the same stomach bug as everyone else around here, turns out, nope, he had salmonella…yes, you know, I’d been rubbing raw chicken on his bottles and feeding him raw eggs, but who would have guessed. I felt like a completely horrible mother! We are compulsive about hand washing, food washing, etc, so I don’t have a clue where it could have come from. Tomorrow we go back to the ped for Chet’s 2 year well check and then again on Friday for Joe’s 4 year well check. Hopefully, we’ll be done with the illnesses for a while…except…Brian called today and said he felt nauseated. Here we go again.

On a lighter note, the boys had great Birthdays! Tons of gifts; we look like toys-r-us around here.

I hope you are all happy, healthy and well.

Love to you all,
Kristi and the boys!

Well, we’ve had some sort of horrible bug around here. Friday Joe was puny, Saturday, he didn’t even want to go camping…he said that it would be okay if we did it another day, then, Saturday night into Sunday morning, it hit. He lost everything that had been in his stomach for two days…Sunday he was puny but perked up in the evening. He felt good enough to go to school Monday, but then…Chet tossed his cookies Monday night all night. We went to the pediatrician Tuesday a.m. (thanks Pop Pop for meeting us over there). Without him, I’d have had to go home in a puke ridden t-shirt. They said we have a stomach virus. They did a throat swab on Joe; the rapid results came back no strep…waiting on the 24 and 48 hour culture results. Today, we seem to be on the incline! Both boys weigh 29 pounds! So Joe-Joe has dropped some, but he’s been sick a bit. Hopefully, now we’ll get some weight back on him.
Keep on Keepin on,
K & co.

Joe-Joe had a better day at school yesterday; his teacher said that he only had one “outburst” when another teacher told him not to do something on the playground. He ate some of his lunch and even took a NAP! So, for all things, I am grateful.

I can not believe that my boys are about to be two and four! I’m gearing up for their dinosaur party and at the same time trying to figure out family pictures. I dread family pictures; it’s not like you can have a picture with just Brian, Joe and Chet…they’ll grow up thinking, where’s Mama?

I’m proud of my boys and my dear hubby for working so hard so that I can stay at home with our little ones. The time will come, too soon I’m sure, when they are in school and I seek out a career of my own. Until then, I savor the little moments when they have just woken up and are sweet as can be.

Please continue to keep the following people in your prayers: Brian’s cousin Scott, my cousin’s wife Kathy and Cooper.

Much love,
K & Co.
