I failed to mention in Alyssa's birthday post that when we got home from Indy that night she had a 104.1 fever. She acted completely normal all day, guess she really wanted to have her big birthday celebration. The next day she seemed better and was fever free the next evening. But by then Aiden had also developed a fever. He, however did not get better on his own. By Thursday afternoon it was apparent he needed to go somewhere for his cough, wheezing and fever. Since his Doctor was busy I had to go to Immediate Care (I really really really dislike IC). Long story short we spent 2 1/2 hours there doing breathing treatments and a chest x-ray only to be sent to ER because the Doc wasn't satisfied with his breathing. I felt we were well enough to go home with the steroid script and the nebulizer but followed instructions to the ER. After 2 more hours we were sent home with the same instructions as originally given at IC. We have also ended our antibiotic free streak with
both kids since Aiden had bronchitis and and ear infection. So the next few days were a blur of Aiden crying, not sleeping, not eating and doing this:
And this...
We called it his "dragon breathing" to get him to cooperate. We got to re-enter the world after almost a week, just in time to do this:
Yeah for warm weather and my healthy babies back!

Opening the eggs to discover goodies for Mommy (Um, I mean for themselves).
It is possible the bags of candy are slightly hidden from all but me. I promise to dole some out occasionally :)
