Frog in my throat

Well things have been interesting around the ranch lately. Logan came down with a fever on Sunday night and developed a pretty bad cough. He kept telling us, "There's a frog in my throat" every time he tried to talk and couldn't. It was pretty funny, but also of course worrisome. I stayed home with him on Monday and by Tuesday he was no better. Brian took him in Tuesday and the doctor was of NO HELP AT ALL. She basically said, "Yup he has something...not sure what it is...if he's not better in a couple days you can start giving him these antibiotics. Goodbye." Brian and I were so discouraged and upset. So we continued to give him Advil every 4 - 5 hours to fight the fever. But by Wednesday afternoon he was still no better so we filled the antibiotics prescription and started him on that. Wednesday night his eye started swelling up and getting red and puffy. We called the nurses station to ask if he was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and they said he's probably not, but to watch him if he wasn't better by morning bring him in. Of course in the morning he was fine, so we gave him another dose of antibiotics. He's doing much better now...although he shared his cough/fever with his little brother...how nice right?

I'm so glad he's feeling better, but it's so scary and stressfully when you have no idea what's wrong with your child and there's no one to go to. Thank God we live in the world we do; with the advances in modern medicine and the technological advances, but they don't do much to calm a worried mom's nerves late at night when he little one is feverish and sick.

Anyway, with the kids being sick and Brian and I taking turns staying home with them things have been a little off this week at the Ranch. We LOVE the nice weather and only wish we could have gotten out in it a little more...but soon enough it will be nice out!

OK, going to sign off for tonight. I'll try to get some pics this weekend and post them. Oh and a HUGE thank you to Grandma Meyer for watching the boys on Thursday!! Thank you! You're the best!!

Goodnight Everyone
