feeling green

It's official...the Keesee house is contaminated!! Tara is feeling better. She is still coughing a little but overall she is on the mend.

Tate is sick now. I took him to the doctor Thursday and he had a fever of 101.3 so he had to have blood work done to rule out the flu and RSV. Turns out it is a viral infection...so while that's not good news it is WAY better than the other options!! I took him back to the doctor Friday because he is more congested and isn't eating. The doctor gave me two choices. Choice A was to have Tate admitted to the hospital for IV fluids. Choice B was to take Tate home and make him eat at least 1 oz ever hour to ensure that he gets hydrated. I picked choice B! He did okay last night (he actually ate 2 oz at the 4 a.m. feeding!!) so I don't think we will have to go to the hospital today. He is coughing, very congested and a little wheezy, but hopefully this will run it's course quickly.

We woke up this morning to Gage crying. About the time Aubie got to him he started getting sick. It sounds crazy but I hope Gage caught this from the twins (I know that is doubtful) because if this is a new virus the twins will have it in a few days too. Basically we have lots of sick kiddos and not a lot of sleep!!!!

Gage did get a happy surprise this week. Aubie brought home a new puppy! It's 1/2 border collie and 1/2 mini Australian Shepherd...SO FUZZY AND CUTE!!! Gage named him Toto. Nothing is cuter than a little boy and his puppy chasing each other around the yard!!
