When it rains, it pours!

Thankfully this week has come to and end! Peyton is 100% better and went to school yesterday. He was very excited to see his friends but even more excited to finally get to eat ice cream! He was also happy to be able to attend his teddy bear picnic with his class.

Morgan's mystery illness continues. Gene took her back to the doctor yesterday and we finally got to see Dr. Fairchild. She said she thinks it is something viral and that there is nothing we can do but wait it out. She kind of mentioned something about Mono but says it doesn't show up in kids tested this young anyway. Thankfully, the hives have gone but the fever, sleeplessness, and crankiness remain. I think we are going on five nights now with very little sleep. I called again today because her fever was back up to 102. The doctor is thinking more and more that it is Mono. At this age? Who has she been kissing? Anyway, we should get sleep tonight thanks to a perscription of Tylenol with Codeine (sp?). If she is not better my Monday we have to go back.

Bet you thought, lucky Trevor, he has escaped untouched. Nope! As I was on my way to pick Morgan up today at lunch, I was called back to the school to get Trevor. He and another child ran into each other at recess and he has an enormous knot on his forehead. I had to take him to the doctor to get it looked at. The other child was fine but Trevor looks like something out of a cartoon! She said he should be okay and that we should keep an eye on him tonight. Tomorrow he will have a killer headache and a black eye!

When it rains, it pours at the Rouse house! We have been to the doctor four times in one week! I think we will try to stay locked in the house all weekend while Gene works. Hopefully my camera will be fixed soon! I'm dying without it! Have a great weekend!
