Calgon, take me away!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so last week Jake was diagnosed with strep. Yesterday Jarika says she's had to go to the bathroom constantly and Cooper had a headache. Get message about Addy's bacterial overgrowth and start her antis. Well, let me re-phrase that! I fully planned on starting the Flagyl, but as I was hooking her up for her 7pm feed. Her button was clogged. No food would go in at all. So I call Mr. Mechanical and he investigates. Sure enough, the little "nub" that closes the button has come off inside the button, therefore, no food is going in. GREAT!!! I call Dr. Surgeon's office, he calls right back and says she'll be fine until 8am when he wants me to bring her in to the hospital for a new button. Hmm she last ate at 3pm, how many of you are real happy when you haven't eaten for 17 hours??? I don't have a spare button but I do have the foley for emergencies. I managed to get about 4-5 ounces in by pushing them slowly with a syringe so I knew she would be okay but I was still stressing! So this morning I made Jarika an appointment to see if she had a UTI and went to Springfield with Addy to the hospital. Addy was happy as a clam when she woke up and was a little ray of sunshine at the hospital, waving at everyone and awing the nurses with how well she looks and how far she's come since they last saw her in February of 09. You might remember, she looked like this:



So fast forward to 1:15pm. I get a call from Cooper's school. "Hey Cammie, it's Nurse Kathy, Cooper is in the office and has a temp and a headache, you need to come pick him up." Okay so I go get him, bring him back to my classroom and work on paperwork till the end of the day. I was planning on sending Jarika to the doc by herself but fortunately he could fit Cooper in with her so I met her there, poor girl was so confused! As we are waiting for the doctor Addy's nurse called to let me know that she woke up with a 99.5 temp and wasn't acting right. She is usually 97. something so ... I'm thinking great! 4 for 4!! Ends up Cooper has strep (shocker) and Jarika definitely has a UTI so now all four of my kiddos are on antibiotics! Addy seems absolutely fine now so I'm just hoping she was just hot from her nap, it was pretty warm here today. So I plan on keeping an eye on her, please pray that she can fight off her siblings gunk!!!
