Round 2

I'm feeling like a bad mom today. Big bummer!

I've known that Nick hasn't been quite up to par, but honestly, I thought he was just wanting some extra attention since Zack has been getting it due to Zack being very sick. **Note to self: Paying attention to ALL children is VERY important!!**

Anyway, I came to the conclusion that it's not just attention seeking on Sunday night. First off, Nick didn't want to eat... big shocker. He's not been eating well for a long while now. He got so upset that he ended up loosing part of his dinner to the trash can. So, and here's the bad mom part, I was frustrated and cleaned him up and let him just go to bed. Well, about 1:30 that night, I woke up to the sound of him going potty. Went to check on him and he was running a 102 fever. Great. The next morning he was still feverish, so he had to miss his Valentines party at school, and we headed to the doctors office. Poor thing. Turns out he has a red and slightly swollen right ear and throat, due to all the sinus drainage that he's been having. So she prescribes him a med for his ear, a med for his throat, and a med for the puking. Worst mom ever!!!

He is feeling some better today. Since nothing he has is contagious, and he's not running a fever last night or this morning, I sent him back to school. With the meds last night, he ate all of his dinner and it stayed down. He ate pretty well this morning and seems to be doing ok. He was very excited to return to school, and VERY bummed he had to miss his party. He tried and tried to convince me yesterday that he's ok to go to school. At least I didn't give in...

On the up side, she checked Zack's ears and they are clear. Just a little red still from how bad they are, but she said he should be good. And she looked at Beth and said to just keep doing what we're doing. Both Zack and Beth seem to be back to normal except for just a very little stuffies. Both are eating well, and full of energy.

In other news, PawPaw did great with surgery on Friday, and him and Nana are back home. The doctor expects no issues and is thinking his 2 six inch incisions should heal fine. I talked to him again last night, and he is in good spirits, and says he feels fine just a little sore. Not the cramping pain like he's been having. So all that sound good. I will be headed down on Friday and check him out for myself! :)
