H1N1


All of the boys have come down with H1N1. It hasn't been as bad as expected yet. Todd seems to be struggling with it the most. His fever doesn't seem to stay down as well as I would like even after motrin and tylenol. It is hard to see them struggle when they are sick. He wanted to go out in the yard today to play and Christian and Nate and the baby were all asleep so I told him he could. It was like 60 degrees here today so he put on a sweat shirt and his sneakers and went out. He didn't last very long before he just ran out of steam. Poor guy. He would play like that most of the day. 15 minutes of playing 20 minutes curled up on the couch. That was his entire day. He seemed quite frustrated as well that he had an accident in his underwear when he has been potty trained for a few months now. Christian is just as feisty and wiry as always. This doesn't seem to be slowing him down. The only thing I seem to notice with him is he takes really long naps. Today he took a 5 hour nap. Other than that his fever is staying down with the tylenol and motrin and he has a runny nose. So for him its not too bad. Ender just seems to have a runny nose and be cranky. So this all seems to be much more mild than expected. It beat Nate up pretty hard today too. The doc said that he is able to go to work as long as he's not coughing. He hasn't had a cough at all throughout this entire thing so after a day sleeping I'm sure he'll be ready to go back tomorrow.
I bought Ender a BUMPO today and he loves it! He sits up perfectly in it and he seems so happy in it. I think he thinks he's a part of whats going on now. It's cute. I'm still waiting for the results of the biopsy. I asked the doctor while I was in the office today with the boys but, he said they are still reviewing things so no answer quite yet.
