Bad Week/Weekend for kids

All three kids were sick (and all with different symptoms) within one week/weekend. It started on Monday, June 6th. The first day of vacation bible school for Keira and Aden.

Keira & I were the only ones awake that morning (Monday) about 8:00 a.m. She wanted to cuddle on the couch with a blanky, which I thought was okay, because I love when the kids want to cuddle :). We laid there for a while & she didn't say a word. I could hear Taygen starting to wake up so I told Keira that I was going to get Taygen that she could lay on the couch or sit there until I got back. I went upstairs to get Taygen, came back down and Keira was laying on the couch with her blanky on from her head to her feet. I got Taygen's breakfast ready and sat her down in her seat, went over to check on Keira and ask her if she wanted to go back to bed (I just thought she was super tired), I pulled the cover down from her head and she started crying because the light hurt her eyes. I then felt her head and she had a fever. I checked her temp. and it was 103. at the time. She was also complaining about a really bad head ache. So, I gave her some tylenol and she just laid around all day until Taygen's 15 month check up then she went with me so she could get checked out as well. That was the first night of VBS for Keira and Aden. I went ahead and took Keira, Aden & Taygen thinking that I (or Dan) was going to be staying there the full 2 1/2 hours anyway and if she wasn't doing very well I could just stay down stairs with her while she laid down. She did really good and the next morning she was fine. Her symptoms were fever & headache. Hers lasted about 24 hours.

The rest of the week went by smoothly. Friday, Aden got sick also. Dan said (he let me sleep in) that Aden was playing fine, ate breakfast good and was being Aden until about 10:00 a.m when Dan found Aden just laying on the floor asleep (which is not like Aden). Dan felt his head and he also had a fever. Aden laid around most of the day and about 4 or 5 p.m Dan was holding him cuddling with him and Aden had to throw up so we rushed him over to the sink and luckily he made it to the sink. They had VBS that day also (lasted June 6-12 Mon.-Fri.) I took Keira and Taygen and decided to leave Aden with Dan so he could sleep and hopefully get better. When I got home at 9 p.m he was sitting up watching his shows and walking around talking. Aden's symptoms were a fever, throwing up & some diarrhea. His lasted 10 hours.

Taygen got sick on Saturday night. Earlier that day we had went for a walk, so the kids could ride their bikes then we were going to go shopping then to Fazoli's and eat. We went shopping, Taygen was fine, a little quiet but still herself. We get to Fazoli's and she didn't want to eat her breadstick (which is unusual for her). I look over at her and she is just freezing (it is 80 something degrees outside). Her eyes are just glazed over. So, I picked her up and just held her while I ate, she fell asleep on me. I can feel her just shaking because she is so cold, she also has a fever. She fell asleep in the car, when we get home I laid her down in her bed because she is still sleeping and still has a fever. She woke up about 7:30 p.m or so, she is a little groggy and fussy but she doesn't have her fever anymore. Once she wakes up she is fine, walking around, talking, & laughing at the kids. She was awake most of the night because her fever came back in the middle of the night and she was really restless. Sunday morning I let Dan and Taygen sleep in while I took Aden & Keira to church because they had a program that day. I came home from church and she was fine, no more fever. Taygen's symptoms were fussiness, fever & chills. Hers lasted about 7 hours (including the night time wakes).

Even though they all had different symptoms and they all didn't last the same time, they were all fine the next day.
