Sick & Happy Birthday

So it seems I'm always posting about illnesses. Everyone except ME (knock on wood) is sick. Nathan has been running a fever & coughing since Sunday. Jessica started running a fever last night. Neil thinks he was running a fever yesterday. I kept Nathan home from preschool yesterday. Jessica was SO upset that she had to stay home from school today. As today is her teachers birthday. She threw herself on the floor & just cried. ;( She usually doesn't cry, that is one way I know she is not feeling well, she cries. I mean I'm sure she is sad that she wont get to see her teacher & sing happy birthday to her. Neil did check his temperature this morning before going to work & he was 103!! Guess what?!?! He STILL went to work. Die Hard. I tell ya he is a DIE HARD!! Work-a-holic!! Gotta LOVE him!! And God Bless him!! So after being on the phone for an hour this morning, calling Nathan's pulmonologist & pediatrician, & public health nurse, & ALL my friends, I am gonna get them seen this afternoon in Poplar.

Pray everyone in my house gets well soon!!

Happy Birthday to Jessica's teacher, Mrs. Beyer!!! :)

Just a quick

Couple of things....

Today is Jessica's show & tell. She took her cat that she got for Christmas last year. That is what she took for her show & tell last year in Kindergarten too. She was excited to take it but then at the last minute tried to change her mind, because some kids already saw it last year. I told her that it was ok.

Jessica got her ears pierced last Thursday. I still need to take a picture to post & develop. She LOVES them!! She was wishing her show & tell would've been earlier in the week so she could've showed her EARS!!

Jessica had a check-up dr appt & chest x-ray. She is clear from the pneumonia.

Tuesday both kids got shots. Jessica got the influenza seasonal shot. Nathan got the H1N1 flu shot. Nathan & I already got the influenza seasonal shots a few weeks ago. Jessica can hopefully get the H1N1 in the next few weeks. It is only being given here to those aged 6 months to 4 yrs.

Yesterday Nathan had blood work, he got poked twice :( we have been weaning him off his medication. So the dr wanted to check his levels & make sure everything is ok.

Neil, me, & the kids went out for supper last night.

Air Show

Sidney had an air show a couple weekends ago. We watched it from our house on Saturday. These are a few pictures I took. On Sunday we went over to the airport to watch it live!! :) It was windy, windy, so windy that the skydivers didn't jump & the Canadian snowbirds (9 jets) didn't fly. They fly like 5 feet from the next jet. It was awesome!! I enjoyed watching it more than my kids did!!

Dr appt update

Well last Thursday, Oct 1, Nathan had a DR appt in Billings with the Pediatric Pulmonologist. They still know nothing more than I know. No answers as to why he got as sick as he did last year. Nonetheless, it was suggested that we begin a wean off the immunosuppressant medication that Nate has been taking for the last 16 months. And after 3 weeks he will need his blood drawn. If we could get prayers, for Nathan during this time, they would be greatly appreciated!! We will follow up with the PP in 3 months, if not sooner.

In the meantime, I am going to be looking into replacing the carpet throughout our house. As I'm realizing how much allergens could be in this old carpet, that was here in our house when we bought it. And the people before us did have pet(s).
