Hi! December has been an insane month for me but I'm hoping things will calm down now for a bit now that the holiday is over. We were gone most of last week traveling for Christmas. I'm back to work today and not feeling it - lol!
DS doesn't have school but is at school at their daycare program. DD went back to daycare today as well. The weather is not great as we're getting snow here. Hopefully it won't be too bad to the point where we'll need to go get the kids. My H and I need to get some work in today after being off the last week or so.

It's almost a relief to be back at work today. DH is home with the boys and the morning was hard before I even left.

Christmas was good for us, though. DD was a trooper with all the driving and her schedule thrown off so that was really good. The kids got so much stuff so I went through the playroom on Saturday and purged a bunch of stuff and made room for the new things. It feels good to not feel like we're completely drowning in toys.

I'm back at my usual schedule, but my kids are not. My parents are here to take care of them, which is great, but DD is still not going to bed until 9 pm after lots of late nights, so I have my mom on that today (skip nap, run her ragged, etc.)

Things are still yucky here. My dh, my 5 year old and I all got the flu. The baby has a sinus infection. Mine and Dh’s flu is gone. But the 5 year olds fever came back this morning and her symptoms are different. So back to the doctor we go.
I guess I should be glad we are sick now and not next week when we will have to meet deductibles again?
I’m just ready for a sick free house. The irony is that both kids have been out of school/daycare since December 20th.

One coworker is out with the flu and another one's husband has the flu. I just want to bathe in bleach.

I’m still on vacation and still visiting my family with L. We’ll go home tomorrow so we can spend NYE with DH. DH had to work today and has to work tomorrow too. I’ve had to log into work while on vacation to take care of a few things, but I’ve had a lot of help with L, so it hasn’t been too bad to have to do that. We’ll all be back to our normal schedules on Thursday. Hoping that’ll help us ease back into our routine.

Well, turns out I have strep. When they did the rapid strep test on Friday it came back negative. I received a call this afternoon that it was positive in the lab.
Dd1 is still really sick. Her fever is 103+ but her strep and flu test today were negative so they just said keep her hydrated and manage the fever with Tylenol and Motrin. She doesn’t want to take meds, so it’s been a challenge. I’m betting she has strep and am hoping they sent it into the lab.

Geez kam3100, you have strep right after the flu? I also hope they sent the strep culture to the lab. I know quite a few kiddos who have had a rapid test come out as negative, but positive after the culture had time to grow. I hope all the germs are out of your house soon. |

This is so stressful. I really don’t know what to do. DD’s fever was 104.4 this morning. She had ibuprofen around 1am and so within 5 hours it’s back up that high. It’s so frustrating. I’m sure she has strep. If I had strep then it’s very likely she does too. Ugh.
Sorry for the vent!

Oh no. I'm sorry kam3100. I hope you can get her fever managed and everyone is feeling better soon. This winter has been absolutely terrible for sickness. |

I would alternate Tylenol and Motrin so she is getting meds every 3 hours and get her back to the doctor as soon as you can. Poor baby and poor mama. |

We are back at the doctor just waiting. My husband tested positive for strep so I’m positive that’s what dd has. But I suspect she got a negative on the test because of lack of tonsils so maybe it’s harder to get a sample? Idk. But I’m hopeful for antibiotics and that will get his under control.

They did another strep test on dd and it turned positive this time. So we have antibiotics and everything will be better.

My two also decided to end the year sick. Poor DD was sick almost the whole time my parents were here with bronchiolitis and DS just got sick again. So our NYE is pretty quiet this year.

Sorry for all the sickness. My DS got sick on Christmas morning and then DD got it a couple days later. They are both on the mend now. Ugh, ‘tis the season, right?

I'm starting to get worried about DD's speech or lack there of. She definitely has great receptive language, but doesn't say much besides Dada and mama on a regular basis.

This is exactly how my 3 year old was. At 18 months, I pushed for testing and he just barely qualified. And started services a month later. By 2, he started having a language explosion. I don't know if it was because of speech therapy or he just needed more time. But his pedi thinks he just needed more time because he hadn't been receiving services for very long. It doesn't hurt to check with her doctor. |
