What a day.
DS10 woke us with a croupy coughing spell. Ugh. You know those coughs that sound like a sick seal? That's what it sounded like. He has been complaining of a sore throat for a couple days but each time I used a light to look down his throat it looked fine. Then DS10 said his ears are popping. So I called his pediatrician and was able to get DS10 worked in at 3pm.
I decided to attend the tour this morning since it was already paid for and I was fairly sure DS10 wasn't contagious. So we spent 3 hours at Aquarium. About 2 hours into the guided tour, DGD7 came to me and said she didn't feel good. I asked her what was wrong and she said her stomach hurt. But then it was time to feed the turtles and she instantly felt better. I hoped it was a momentary thing and we continued with the tour. By the time the tour was over DGD7 felt really bad. She fell asleep in the car coming home.
I stopped at the deli on the way home and got items to serve for lunch. I had no time to prepare a meal myself.
DGS21 and DH were waiting on me when I arrive home. We ate lunch and then it was time to leave to drive to DS10 doc appointment.
DS10 tested negative on strep and his lungs are clear but he has an ear infection and is congested. We came home with 10 days of antibodies for him to take (3 times a day).
While I was getting DS10 prescription filled, DH called and said DGD7 had been sick to her stomach twice and had diarrhea over 10 times since I left. DGD7 had to change clothes several times and DH had cleaned up several accidents when she couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough. Ugh. I called DD and told her what was going on. DD said she might come home tomorrow instead of Sunday if DGD7 doesn't get better. DD is a 5 hour drive from here so I am hopeful DGD7 doesn't need to go for medical treatment. We have given her over the counter meds and are hopeful they will calm DGD7 intestinal woes.
Two sick kids with different things. Ugh. What're the chances that DH and I won't get one or both sets of germs. Double ugh.
