Sickness

We have been SICK in the Mixon house.  It all started about 3 weeks ago with Ridley starting to run a high fever of around 104.  After taking her to the pediatrician, we figured out that she had a sinus infection and got her on an antibiotic and on the mend.

Sweet Baby...worn out from fever

Pedialyte is NOT my favorite

A couple of weeks ago, Maddox came home on a Friday with a high fever and complaining of being "cold". The entire weekend she felt miserable and kept having chills and fever (spiking to 104 everytime her next does of meds were due).  She kept saying she wanted to takes a "Momma's Nap", which totally melts my heart and means that A) I get to take a NAP and B) I get to snuggle & nap with my daughter for the first time in a REALLY long time.  Monday we took her to the pediatrician, found out she had a sinus infection got her on an antibiotic and by Wednesday she was ready to return to school.

Now let's rewind to Tuesday evening, Lukas comes home from school with an eye infection.  I take him to the Pediatrician on Wednesday (the day Maddox got to go back to school).  It is determined that he has pink eye (so we think).  That afternoon, Lukas starts running a high fever.  After becoming extremely congested, I take him back to the doc on Friday and he is given an antibiotic for a _________ (you guessed it, a sinus infection!) and he is taken off the antibiotic eye drop because the oral antibiotic should help and the eye drops haven't helped his eyes because it appears to be allergy related. However, Lukas continues to run a fever all the way through  Monday, his eyes are so swollen and watery he can barely open them and he will hardly eat or drink anything.  So I call the pediatrician and they put him on an antihistamine drop and a antibiotic drop for his eyes and we are hoping that helps spur him to feeling better!

Maddox wanting her "partner in crime" to feel better

I guess it's true that when it rains, it pours but we can't WAIT to have everyone healthy around here.
