Out dear sweet Kayzee Lynn got croup and she was having a hard time breathing for about 4 days. She was quite the sad little girl. Sunday Jan 19 both Memphis and Kayzee woke up with croupy sounding coughs so I stayed home with them while Danny taught our Primary class. That night they were both still coughing so they slept in my room with me and I set up our cool mist humidifier. By morning Memphis was 100% better but Kayzee started getting worse. I didn't have school that day which was nice so Kayzee just stayed in my room all day with the humidifier. I wanted to take her into the dr but they were not open that day. Monday night she got even worse. I spent 10 minutes every hour sitting outside on our front porch. She just couldn't breathe in my room and being outside was the only thing that helped her. And of course it was only like 10 degrees. BRRRR! Getting no sleep that night was no fun!
Tuesday my friend took Memphis to preschool and I took Kayzee to the pediatrician. YEP she had croup! They diagnosed her right away and she had a very high fever. Once again Kayzee started screaming as soon as the male pediatrician walked in the room. We had to have 2 people hold her down while the nurse gave her the shot of steroids to open up her airways. That night I didn't get any sleep again and because of Kayzee's fever we stayed home from school on Wednesday too. Thursday we were all back to normal and back in school. I am just glad it happened that weekend instead of the next when everyone was coming for Memphis' birthday!
Kayzee's crazy hair!
We celebrated Memphis turning 5 for almost a week. What a lucky boy! I still cannot believe I have a 5 year old and that I am registering him for kindergarten!!! He was definitely loved by all and he had fun. Wednesday Jan 29 my parents flew in from Washington. I love my parents and am so glad they could come visit to help Memphis celebrate. That night we went out to eat Memphis' favorite food…pizza. We went to Pier 49 pizza. YUM!
Memphis' Auntie Sheesha, Great-Grandma and Grandpa Astle, and Great-Grandma and Grandpa Christensen all gave him money for his birthday so we took him to the store and this is the nerf gun he picked out. Thanks for the money everyone!
Thursday Jan 30 was Memphis' actual birthday. It was snowing when we left for school and I took him to the store to pick out some cupcakes to take to his preschool to celebrate and he picked snowflake ones. He got spoiled at school too. He got presents from his teachers and he got to be first in line all day. He loved it. That night we went to Arctic Circle for dinner and then we headed over to play at Kangaroo Zoo (big bouncy blow up play houses and slides). He went there last year for his birthday he loves that place. He invited his friends the Barnes' family to come play with him.
