We traveled to Logan to spend Thanksgiving at my grandma's house with my family and some of my mom's side of the family. Here is a picture of Kayzee on the way there and some pictures of the temp getting colder and colder as we drove through the canyon. -1!!!!
Thanksgiving was spent eating (ok pigging out:), taking naps, eating too much pie, and playing games (good laughs). It was a good day! That night the real adventure began.
Memphis had been sick with a really high fever Mon and Tue but he seemed fine on Wed so we decided it was ok to go to Logan. My family had been watching my kids while I went to work Mon and Tue so they all ended up with sore throats, fevers, and coughs. SORRY FAMILY!!!
Thursday night I was up all night with Kayzee who cried all night, wouldn't lay down, and had a fever. My mom helped so I could get a couple hours of sleep. A fever in a 2 1/2 month old is never good so i knew I needed her to be looked at. Memphis woke up with a fever so we all piled in the car and made a trip to the Insta Care in Logan. Kayzee has an ear infection so she is on antibiotics. Memphis had a more traumatic experience. He had to have his throat swabbed and had to have chest x-rays. The way they held him down (or should I say hung him) so he would be absolutely still was the hardest thing for him. He has strep throat, a sinus infection, and the infection was starting in his lungs. He is on antibiotics too. Such a sad day for all:( We left Logan early and we all went to bed for the weekend.
So our kids have been to an emergency room over Thanskgiving but so have Danny and I. When I was in college I went to Logan for Thanksgiving and woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever (105!), not being able to breathe and the most painful sore throat I have ever had. My aunt and grandma took me to the Insta Care where they took x-rays and I ended up going to the hospital where a specialist looked me over and said I had a rare disease called laryangotracheitis (spelling?). A couple years later I got it again and ended up ambulance driven to be hospitalized. It is rare in adults and even more rare to get it more than once. I AM JUST COOL LIKE THAT!
A couple years ago when Danny was meeting my dad's side of the family for the first time up in Washington during Thanksgiving he ended up in the emergency room. He had been up all night with extreme eye pain. The doctor found a few flecks of metal in his eye and it had started to rust. They had to drill it out!!! So ya he met my family all drugged up.
Since it is Thanksgiving, I just wanted to say that I am so THANKFUL for all the doctors and nurses who worked the holiday so that we could all get taken care of. I am also so THANKFUL for both sides of my family, for their help, and especially for our little family of four!!! My life would not be complete without them.
So needless to say we are going to try staying home next year! I am thinking happy thoughts right now so that I don't get sick (I don't think it's working:( and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
