Yikes, what a week! First off, I have pictures to post, but I have them on a CD, and I am not handy like that....so I will have to wait for help on that one.
Sadie and Seth had a birthday on the 25th!!! Hard to believe that Sadie is already 1!!!! She loved diggin into her cake....we just let her go at it, it was cute! What a mess she was! She had fun with her little toys and the kids around.
I threw a baby shower for my friend Melanie on Tues night....it was a success..and it was a good thing I did it then, because she had her baby on Thursday! I got to be there for the delivery and I even got to cut the cord...it was amazing. She was very blessed to have an easy delivery....it was quick and painless! Congrats to Melanie! and welcome baby Dylan!!!
Okay....so our week....let me back track....I took Sadie in for her check up on Tues....she had been acting fussy for a day or 2. The dr said her ear was red...not really infected...but she had an eye irritation too. An antibiotic could take care of both..She got one immunization and we were on our way. Dr. said I could wait a day or 2 on the antibiotic, see if the ear cleared up. Wed....she is worse....Thursday...cried all day.. I start the medicine( this is when I am at the hospital for a good part of the day)...
I get home from the delivery...Seth Has got to get working on his CPE classes to finish and renew his CPA license by 5:00 Friday. I think at his point he had like 50 hours to get in! AHHH!!!
So, I take over with the baby.....she is a mess. I take her to the Urgent Care at 1:00 in the morning....The Dr. says she has a couple of blisters in her mouth....not a reaction to the shot, and thinks she has a virus...nothing we can do....discontinue the antibiotics.
I walked away NOT happy.
She had a horrible night in pain...Friday..same thing....Seth is frantically studying and taking tests....Sadie is a mess. Luke and Ella both get fevers.....they just lie around thankfully and eat popsicles.
Friday was the longest day ever...it was 10 am and felt like 10 at night. It was horrible. I called Sadie's doc to tell her about the blisters...she says she has a virus that causes that. Herpangina.
great.....it can last 3 - 7 DAYS...
As the day went on I reserached online about these types of viruses and checked Sadie over again. She has Hand Foot and Mouth disease. She literally had like 50 blisters on her poor little tongue. And, more on her hands and feet. She woudn't eat or drink or take a binky...so sad. The Dr prescribed some lidocaine to put in her mouth to try to get her to drink. The viruses are similar..adn there is nothing you can do for them...just let it run its course.
So, our poor Sadie....she has lost weight and looks worn out.
This morning she seems to have a bit more energy and ate breakfast....so hopefully this is almost over! If you can, remember her in your prayers... And oh yah, Seth finished in the nick if time...I think he handed it is at 4:50....so he remains a CPA....and a procrastinator. :) Phew!
On a happier note....my cousin Charlene and her baby Turner are coming all the way from home ( Ontario) on Monday for a visit! I am so excited!

Wow Caroline! What a week is right! Poor little Sadie. It's just the worst when they're sick... they're just so lethargic and helpless... I'm sooo glad it looks like it's going away, but we'll send a few prayers your direction anyway.
By the way, I don't know if you noticed, but I tagged you on my blog. But only if you find the time to answer a bunch of questions! I just love this way of getting to know friends and family better!!

So sad...poor Sadie. Court's family had that disease run through all of them a few years ago...not fun! What a crazy week you guys had. I bet you're glad it's over!
