Two Sick Girls and One Healthy Boy

This last weekend was crazy! Last week was crazy to start with but it began with Cooper going to his four year appointment at the pediatricians and is doing great! He has great eye sight and hand / eye coordination and even had his finger poked to begin with! Then his iron level came back low so luckily I had my awesome friend Elaine with my because she wanted to meet our doctor who is so much fun and so good with the kids! So she helped out because these rooms are seriously 7 ft x 7 ft with the bed and chairs and sink it gets cozy but there ended up being me and my three kids, Elaine, Sarah (my sister-in-law) and her two kids...Talk about packed! But it was fun! Sarah and her kids only stayed for a 5 minutes but Chloe loves Baylee right now so she had fun! They came back in and said Cooper's iron level was low so we went downstairs because the lady who is awesome with kids in the lab was working so we went and got his blood drawn - I just have to say how proud I am as a mom that Cooper barely squirmed! He flinched as he watched her put the needle in and we talked while she was taking the blood then he was done and got a Wolverine sticker and then he informed he never wanted to do that again! I don't blame him! The ped. office called a few hours later and said he was perfect and all his levels were perfect! YEAH!!
Okay so the rest of the week was okay but Ryan worked a lot for his new job because they were having some kick off party and then Friday - don't remember Friday oh well...Saturday Ryan went snowmobiling but called at 9:15am and had sliced his thumb partly open on his dad's trailer so the kids and I loaded up and went and got him and Thank Heavens we did (sorry Natalie and Sarah) but two of his other brothers did some mega damage to their snowmobiles!! And they didn't get home until late so I am grateful Ryan couldn't put his gloves back on and stayed at his parent's house until we got there and the kids had fun tearing Grandma Dawn's house apart!!
Also that night Chloe spiked a 103 fever...We gave her some medicine and kept her home from church and then Monday she spiked a 101 fever in the afternoon and we were already at the ped. office that morning but I was so busy with Cooper being a pain the in butt I forgot to have Chloe looked at so today Reese had a follow-up because she is extremely congested but does not have pneumonia or RSV so we are thankful but I had their dr. listen to Chloe and she not only sounds more congested than Chloe but she also has an ear infection so welcome to the house of sickies!! I am just grateful for Cooper and Ryan and I being healthy so far! Pneumonia is going around really bad right now and I am trying to keep the kids home as much as possible!
Hope everyone is doing well!!

Holy cow you've had your hands full. I hope you all get feeling better soon. You keep yourself healthy--nothing is worse than dealing with sick kids when you're sick too!

We go to Lakeside Peds and I love it there we see Dr. Prince and since we have been seeing her for four years I love that she will check out my other kids while the appt is only for one and this time I am extremely grateful as Chloe was more sick than Reese and it was Reese's appt. I like all the doctors there we have see them all over the years and the NP Jennifer Torok, she is great and experienced as she has two boys who are I think around 8-ish so she knows her stuff!
