Birthday Party, Sickies, and Burns!

So, as you can tell by the title this has been a BUSY week! We'll start with last Friday. Friday was a usual day (atleast I think it was). Latoya cheered for one of the basketball games and I was able to get a video, but it's hard to see her. Here it is though, plus some pics!









The rest of the weekend was pretty good (atleast I think it was) :)

Monday brought the girls birthday party at Jokers. There were quit a few people and the girls really enjoyed themselves. It was really hard to visit with everyone since we all had kids of different ages. In that sense it was a little annoying, but all the kids enjoyed themselves and that is what counts. Here is a slideshow of the party, and a picture of the girls on their Dora atv's from us. I have never seen so many Dora things in my life! You will also notice that the cake was a little messed up. Seems Kaylee wanted one of the toys on top! :)



On Tuesday Kaylee was not feeling well at all. She has a rough night after the party which we attributed to being exhausted from the party. Just to be on the safe side, I brought her to the Drs. Turns out she has bronchitis as well as a ear drum that was about to burst! The ear thing really threw me off since she had only mentioned it once and that was in passing. We had brought her in for her cough. Anyway, she is on antibiotics and is doing alot better. Boy do I wish the week had ended there! No sooner had we left the Drs. office and Kelsey started coughing. I can't win! I just went home and figured we would wait and see what happened. Wishful thinking.

On Thursday, Kelsey started running a fever. It hovered around 102. I still declined from making an appt. This was also Valentines day. We really didn't do anything for it, but the girls had a really cute outfit they wore and Kelsey insisted on telling everyone "Happy Valentines Day" over and over again. Here is a picture of them in their outfits. There is also a cute pic of Kaylee with cups on her feet as shoes:



On Friday after we (my sisters and I) went to the gym, we did our usual grocery shopping. While we were checking out, I received a call from my mom (she's the secretary at the kids school). She said Jordan had been burned while at school. At first I was thinking a rug burn. She said he had been burned by soup. It still didn't really sink in, then she explained. Jordan and another classmate were going upstairs with their soup. The girl behind him tripped and her soup spilled on Jordan's back. My mom was in the office and heard the screaming and new it wasn't good. Seh went running and found them on the stairs. While I was talking to her, I could hear Jordan screaming in pain. They gave him tylenol, then wrapped a cold towel around him and my mom met me at his Drs. office down town. By the time I saw him, he was calmed down and not in too much pain. We got right in and were told that he has 1st, 2nd, and in one spot almost 3rd degree burns. We were given instructions and sent home. He has been doing remarkably well with it, but I am keeping him well medicated and it is in a pretty good spot for a burn. While we were in the Drs., we must have had 3-4 Drs. come in just to see how someone gets burned by soup on the back! :) There were so many things that just fell into place during this. Why, I don't know.
***First thing, my kids NEVER order hot lunch from school, but I was running out of time that day and decided to let them get the soup and sandwich.
***Secondly, the ladies that were doing the lunch do not normally do it.
***Third, when the elementary kids order lunch, it is normally brought to their rooms, they don't go get it.
*** Lastly, the soup bowls normally have covers on them.

Anyway, here are some pics of his back (don't worry, they didn't come out too good so they aren't too gross), as well as his stock of things to care for it. Like I'm not busy enough!





I also forgot to mention that Friday morning Jordan had woke up with croup. So, all 3 of the younger ones are now on the nebulizer. We went to watch Latoya cheer at her last game even after all this. I hadn't downloaded all the party pics off my camera yet, so I was not able to get any pics.

This morning I ended up bringing Kelsey in since she has continued to run a fever, has had a rapid heartbeat, and complains of leg pain. I had given her motrin this morning at 8 am, and when we got to her Drs. appt. at 11:15, her temp was still
103.1. They said it is just the flu and to try to keep her fever down so when I got home, I gave her tylenol as well and her fever finally broke during her nap. We'll see if we can keep it away, if not then she needs to go on Monday for blood work. This evening we went to my mom's for supper and a birthday cake for my sister. So, Happy Birthday Auntie Sarah!! I didn't get to get pics of the "party", but I got some pics of Grayson. He was watching Jordna playing with his cars, so when Jordan was done, I gave them to him and he really loved playing with them. Here are the pics:




I guess that ends this post. Please pray for Jordan to heal quickly as well as the girls. Toya continues to be my healthy one! :) Atleast I have one! Have a great week.

Oh, by the way. I am down 8.6 lbs. total for 3 weeks. So, that is 3 lbs lost for this week!

Ouch! I am sorry to hear about Jordan's burn. Burns really hurt. I hope he is feeling better by now. I also hope to hear all your kids are on the mend too. I hate sick kids, it also stinks because I cannot bring them to the gym either. Congrats on the weight loss I think its just wonderful! Good for you!

Debra said...

WTG on the weight loss!!! That is GREAT!!! I need to join the gym so bad.

How scary about the burns!! Poor little guy! I hope all your kids get better soon. That flu is AWFUL! Olivia has been in the ER twice because we could not get her fever below 103 even with baths and Motrin and Tylenol. UGH!
