what a wonderful few days it's been

monday we noticed that brynna had a runny nose. monday night she woke up with 102.5 degree fever and more congestion. she had a hard time sleeping and breathing.

tuesday morning we wake up with brynna with a fever and the notice caleb's pajama pants are wet...and there's a doodoo smell. turns out he had a massive case of diarrhea that exploded out of his diaper and down his leg. touching doodoo is not one of my favorite things...blech. cleaned him up and as soon as it was 8 we called the doctor's to see about bringing brynna in.

after brynna's appointment, where she was given antibiotics, we headed to drop dave off at his appointment, then i turned around with the two kids and headed back home to wait until he was done. during the day, caleb started to have a runny nose too.

dave's appointment was supposed to be done at around 230 and i didn't want him to have to wait for us, so i headed into town with the two at around 2. we drove around, and around, and around, and finally i parked on the street behind straub to wait for him. finally at around 330 the nurse called to say he was ready to be picked up. she wheeled him down and we headed straight for jack in the box cuz he hadn't eaten since the night before.

damn holiday traffic...took us an hour to get from the aiea off to our house. caleb ended up having a fever that night and being super congested and waking up and crying cuz he was having a hard time breathing.

to make matters worse...i had freakin jury duty on wednesday so dave's mom came down to help out since dave wasn't able to lift caleb at all and was in pain from his surgery. thankfully i got a ride into town with mark and leish was able to pick me up when the trial got cancelled so we got sent home.

caleb wasn't doing any better when i got home so we called to see if doctor could see him. luckily we got an appointment and doctor gave him antibiotics and cough syrup.

thankfully the two kids are not having high fevers anymore and brynna's runny nose seems to be a little bit better. caleb's is still running like crazy and getting thicker and discolored. other than that, though, he's pretty much back to himself.

dave is in more pain today, though, so that sucks. just praying for them to be better before the madness of new year's smoke kicks in and makes their breathing even worse. may just hole up in the house to avoid all of it so they don't get affected. i don't care...not much of a new year's eve type of person anyways...don't know if i could even make it to midnight...lol.
