Teagan took her very first sick day of her school career today. She had started to get a runny nose on Sunday. Sunday night she barely slept (which means mommy didn't either) and was up coughing and crying most of the night. I think I played musical beds most of the night. I slept in her bed with her for a few hours, then Emmersyn got up for her bottle so I fed her, put her back to bed, and went back to my bed. About half an hour later, Teagan came in and cuddled up again with me. I knew a trip to the doctor was going to happen.
I ended up taking her in at 10am Monday. The swabbed her throat for strep which came back negative. She does have another ear infection so we are on another round of antibiotics. She was going to go to school today anyways as ear infections aren't contagious and she had no fever, but she was up all night again. Decided I would be upset if someone sent their kid to school like that so I opted to keep her home. Good thing because at 8 am the vomiting started. (we go to school at 8:15)
And now the fun of trying to have 2 sick kids who are both needing/wanting their mommy and 1 VERY tired, sick mommy. Days like today make me wonder how I'll manage 3, but at the end of the day, I know it's worth it!
