Strep Throat anyone??

So Friday evening Kenzee started to run a temp and was coughing like crazy, I though great she's getting sick..Saturday morning Kolbee started to run a temp and she too started to cough like crazy.. Well by Sunday they were both running 102-103 temps as soon as the Mortin would get out of their system..I thought about the ER but it would have been expensive, so I called the Urgent care in town and they were closed on Sunday, so I just decieded that they would have to wait it out for another night and I would take them to see the dr on Monday, by then Kannon to started to cough, but thank goodness didn't have any temp, YET.. So on Monday after a 3 hour doctor visit, Kenzee, Kolbee and Mike were postive for Strep Throat, they didn't test Kannon but since he did by then have a fever and his throat was looking somewhat red they just decieded to treat him for it to! I was the only lucky one (so far) to not have it! All the kids also had high pulse rates (from the coughing) and were all low on Oxegen levels.. great, last time this happened it was just Kannon and he ended up in the hospital for 3 days, needless to say at that time my aniexty level was extremely high! After all of them having breathing treatments the girls levels came up (somewhat) but Kannon actually went down lower. They let me take them all home with antobotics and having to give all of them the breathing treatments every 4-6 hours, Kannon is supposed to go back later this week so they can check his levels again and if they are still low were going to talk about him being referred to a Lung specialist.. (because of the fact that his levels everytime it has been checked are low, so they just want to make sure his lungs are working like they should be). After a crazy morning of giving the treatments, trying to make sure Kenzee keeps her medicine down (She gages on everything and usually more then likely throws it up from the gaging) I am most defentiley ready for a nap!..

Oh man, sounds like it has been rough!! I hate it when my kids are sick. It is the worst. You feel so helpless sometimes. I hope that your kids and hubby start to feel better. I hope everything is ok with Kannon. I hope that you escape the sickness:) Take care.

Missy that sucks! I'm so sorry! I hope everyone is feeling better, and I'm so glad that you didn't get it too. It's so hard to take care of kids when the mom is sick. We really need to try and get together sometime...they put me nights now so maybe sometime during the day. Talk to you soon.
