3 out of 4 are SICK!!!

So, when you have this many kids and it is the beginning of cold season you are bound and determine to have at least one kiddo sick.
Marlee woke up yesterday morning with a high fever, cough and couldn't talk....she would try but nothing would come out. At noon our doctor's office was having clinic, so luckily I was able to get her in....she has a viral infection, but sounds horrible. Then of course I come home and notice that Tyler has red checks and his voice is sounding weird. Which for him that would mean Strep Throat!!! He was the only one last time who didn't end up with it, so that would be about right. :) Anyway, he insisted that he was NOT sick and that I had just completely lost my mind, but this morning I woke up to him crawling in bed with me saying that "Momma my throat hurts and I think that I have a fever." And then Maggie is still having the lingering cough and runny nose, so this morning I have used a whole can of Lysol on my house AGAIN and bleached everything in sight to try to get us all over this junk. This is just the beginning I am sure of what is to come this Winter. I guess you just have to take it in stride and always remember it could be so much worse. Oh, and believe it or not Keely is the well and doing just fine right now.

Friday I went to see Dr. Ellington a gastroenterologist about my stomach issues. He feels like that since I have been battling these issues for awhile that I probably have IBS. Aren't I so lucky to have that diagnosis?? It sounds so sexy I know....You are all jealous and wish that you could be like me, but that is not all of it. I have to have a sonogram of my gallbladder, since I have been having some higher abdominal pain, and an upper & lower GI done. Seriously I just wanted a pill that would make me have some regular poops and low & behold I end up with the whole battery of test for intestinal, colon & stomach issues. But I guess if this gets me back to "normal" I can't complain. Who wants to sit on the phone with me and talk me thru drinking all of that junk before the GI???? Anyone....Anyone???? It sounds so exciting, so make sure and mark your calender for October 8th...6:00PM.

I hope that you all got a great laugh at this, because at this point that is all there is left to do. Have a blessed weekend!!!

Oh, and I almost forgot I got my hair cut on Friday as well as joined the gym....I love my hair and I hope you are sitting down...I LOVED working out. I was sore the next day, but truly loved everything about it. I haven't ever even been in a gym, so it was really exciting for me to get to see all of the neat machines. And thanks to Keri I have a great motivator to want to be healthier and not so out of shape.
