A Break from Laundry Land

I’m feeling much improved, and wow the housework has really piled up. This afternoon while both the kiddos napped I tried to get what I could finished. So far it has been 5 loads of laundry washed, 4 loads put away. I still have to strip the beds (today) and wash all the bedding (tomorrow). I’ve washed just about every dish in the kitchen, and sanitized all of the surfaces. I still need to clean out the fridge and freezer before trash day. I emptied all of the upstairs waste baskets, and brought down a few more loads of laundry.

I hope to have all of the laundry caught up by the weekend.  I also need to get a grocery store list together, and get to shopping. I hope to keep the energy up and get all caught up 😉

Urgent Care, My Second Home

Well this morning James and I were feeling much better. He still has the cough, and I still have the nausea, but we were both finally a little better. Dylan took an extra long nap this afternoon, and I got a few chores finished around the house. Thade was still coughing and miserable, and was resting on the big comfy chair. I decided to take a nap and rest while I could.

At 3:00 p.m. James was very worried that Thade was still snoozing, and we checked him for a fever. It was 101, so we thought it would be best to pay one more visit to Urgent Care and get him checked out. There has been a lot of RSV and Pneumonia in the area, and we thought better safe than sorry. It took a little convincing, but Thade was pretty happy to go.

James watched Dylan, and Thade and I headed out to Urgent Care. He still had a fever, and the Doctor said that it might just be a really bad case of the flu, but to keep an eye on the cough. If the cough gets worse he will be put on a Nebulizer and sent in for a chest x-ray.  Let’s all hope that the cough gets better, tonight we were sent home with another prescription and some cough medicine samples to try. I’m hoping for the best 🙂

Dylan is doing great, and his appetite has returned. I had hoped to have a birthday party for him this weekend, but I think we had better wait another week just to make sure that everyone is finally well. I think I’m going to call it an early night, and hope for a little sleep this evening.
