Now I feel like a bad Mommy today… Yesterday I had the kiddos outdoors all afternoon while I was gardening, and last night their allergies really started to act up. Thade had itchy watery eyes, and an itchy throat too, Dylan had a big cough, and was miserable. Today Thade woke up early and he wasn’t feeling well at all. Dylan still has the horrible cough too.
As the morning went on Thade looked worse and worse. His tummy was acting up, and he starting saying that his ear hurt bad. James and I decided that while he was on his lunch hour I would take Thade out to Urgent Care and he would take care of Dylan.
I took Thade, and he was just miserable. They tested him for Flu and Strep, and then the Doctor found a very bad ear infection in Thade’s right ear. The Doctor thinks that the ear infection was caused by some pretty bad allergies. Now both of the kids are going to be put on a round of meds to help Thade’s ear infection, and to prevent Dylan from getting one. Both kids need to be on allergy medicine full-time too.
I hope that Thade will be feeling back to better soon, he is crashed out on the couch right now, so you know he is sick.
Awww…..poor little guy! I hope he feels better soon….sending a big hug his way 😉
Thanks Ellie! Thade is starting to perk up already 🙂 Both kiddos have a lot of medicine to take over the next few days, but I know they will be all better soon. Sending big hugs your way too!
Oh no! Allergies and an ear infection, that’s a lot for a little guy. Poor Thade! I really hope that he feels better soon. I’m sending prayers and hugs!

Boy do I feel for you. We are in the same boat with allergies leading to other problems. Two ear infections for Brendan and I need to get Corrynn started on something for her allergies too. Tell Thade we hope he is feeling better.
Feel better soon Thade! Hang in there Nico! You are doing an awesome job! Blessings!!!
Aw, hope your guys are feeling better today 🙁 .
Thanks Nana! I hope that the kiddos are back to better soon too. Thade has graduation next week, and I don’t want him to miss it 😉 I feel really lucky, both of the kids are really good about taking medicine, so they don’t give me too much trouble about it 🙂
Thanks Mimi! Thanks for the well wishes and prayers too. Thade has been really sick, but I know he will be back to better soon. I just hope that Dylan doesn’t get an ear infection too, Thade has been just miserable.
Thanks Stacey! I’m so sorry that your kiddos are having troubles with allergies too. The allergies seem to be really bad this year. I feel guilty for making the kiddos stay outside and play, but the weather was so pretty, I just didn’t want them to miss it. I wonder if I should skip Thade going to day camp, I’m fearful of another ear infection.
Thanks Marva! This has been a trying set of days, but I’m doing my best 🙂 I hope that you and your family are doing well too. I’ve got my kids started on a round of meds, and I hope that they will be feeling all better soon.
Thanks Susan! Thade has been just miserable with the ear infection, and it has made his tummy miserable too. I was just happy that all of his tests came back negative for Strep and Flu. I really don’t want to get the flu again 😉
