OMG so starting Tuesday Ella has been sick. She very briefly had a 105 fever after nap time. Which is a terrifying temperature because it can cause neurological damage. Luckily it went down almost immediately, but after calling the Nurse she suggested we go to the ER with Ella. So, first off then isn’t a nothing ask. Luckily we’ve already maxed our deductible, but if we hadn’t it’d be almost $2500. Next, since Ella no longer had a fever, was acting cranky but no other symptoms, and it was almost bedtime, the Ask was really here go do this quasi expensive task where a doctor will have nothing new to say, and keep her up past her very fixed bed time which will turn her in to a terror. So after talking to Leanne (a dr who’s not worried about us suing her) we opted to just skip hospital and monitor closely. What that did translate to was giving Ella medicine every three hours. Which means hey Ella I know you are asleep but lets wake you up to take your temperature and force feed you some Tylenol.
Anyway, after night one, we kind of hit a flat kind of sick with Diarrhea path but then comes Saturday and Teddy now has it. Still no fever but sooo much poop, like potty training out the window kind of poop. Teddy wants to go outside and play sooo much, and we finally went to the park and he immediately got sick 🙁 So after a panic rush home and cleanup, he got sick again :(. So now its Monday and both kids are still pooping a ton, and it smells terrible and we are constantly worried about dehydration.
On the plus side the kids are sleeping through the night and not getting sick so we were able to go see a show I had gotten Kate tickets for, for her birthday. We went and saw “How did this get made” With was hilarious, I mean sure its basically a live podcast, but the hosts are hilarious and Paul Sheer and Jason Mantzoukas are national treasures. It covered a Movie called “Sure 2 – and end of a trilogy” Kate and I watched it on YouTube, it was so woefully bad that it somehow became hilarious again. 5/5 would recommend Surf 2 if you wanna get drunk and mock how truly bad/awesome a movie can be.
