Sick guys

Today is the first day I have been out of the house since Friday! Wow! I feel liberated! haha! Saturday, I was at home because of Kayce's shower.  Sunday, Jarrod and Stratton were both sick so we stayed in. It was cold and rainy, not a good day to be out with a sick baby. Monday, we got up and took Stratton to the doctor. He has a sinus infection. They put him on antibiotics and cough medicine. Then Jarrod went to the doctor after that and he has a sinus infection and probably an ear infection, too. He is on antibiotics, and taking Mucinex. Poor guy, he has slept in the recliner twice, once with Stratton, too. It's hard having both of them sick at the same time! Jarrod took off Monday and after he got back from his doctor appointment he went to bed and slept. He never takes naps, so I know he must have felt really bad. I had planned on going back to work Tuesday and take Stratton to Kayce's like usual, but he had a melt down about the time I was blow drying my hair. I know more than picked him up and he quit crying and went to sleep! When I tried to put him down he woke up and started screaming again. So, you can imagine what my hair looked like drying on it's own! I then decided to just stay home all day with him. All he wanted was to be held. . .All. Day. Long. I sat him down twice so I could use the bathroom and he screamed the entire time. Very uncharacteristic of him! He would take a bottle and then fuss a little before going back to sleep. I could just tell he felt bad, poor baby. Today he is at home with Jarrod's mom. She is on spring break and offered to watch him since Kayce has a dentist appointment today and couldn't keep him. Hopefully, if he does well today Margie will take him back with her and he will get to stay with them for a couple of days. He sounded better this morning, so maybe the meds are kicking in! Unfortunately, my throat has been hurting since Monday. . . seriously, haven't I been sick enough lately?! And my stomach issues are much better, still having some pain but it's bearable for the time being. I will try to go back to the doctor in a few weeks if it doesn't get better. This has been such a long week and it's only Wednesday! C'mon weekend!
