Last week charly started getting a cold. Sunday he ate little and Sunday night he started to run a fever of 100F. Nothing changed Tues & Wed. He is suddenly needing naps again because he's up too early and tired by 2pm. Some days he's fought the naps tooth and nail, other days he just collapses. Wed I took him into the doctor and got him some antibiotics for a possible chest infection. He's not wheazing, fortunately. I am keeping a close watch on his breathing but it seems to be just a juicy cough that he has. Yesterday his nose was running even though he was taking cold medication so I stopped the med thinking it wasn't working. Oops, it was working - his nose suddenly started running like a faucet. So yucky!!! got him back on the cold med and his nose is back down to a dribble. I think his fever stopped today so we'll see how he is in the morning. Today he drank more fluids than previous days, but still no appetite for anything other than chocolates (he had 3 Easter chocolates today).
Last night Sarah started running a fever. She kept rubbing her nose all day today but it wasn't running. She was clingy today - they both were - and went to bed fairly early tonight. I hope her fever doesn't last as long as Charly's.
My nose has bveen running on and off, I've been tired and such, but that can be explained by allergies and dealing with the kids. My neck is a bit better today. 1 1/2 weeks ago it started making a snapping/clicking noise when I turned to the left, then the muscles started to get really tight and sore. Saw the chiro twice and he says the muscles are so tight that they are stopping my neck from oving properly. It feels like the top vertibrae is being fulled too far to the left, I guess from the tight muscles. So I've had my husband give me massages, taking pain killers and anti-inflammitories, and rubbing creams on it, and it is not so painful today. I didn't drive anywhere today which also might have helped, since shoulder-checking is really hard on it. Maybe a couple more days of TLC will get it all better.
Yesterday it was 15C here. This morning it was sunny, by noon overcast, late afternoon it started to rain, and this evening it was snowing and blowing so much that the highways were being shut down, lots of accidents, etc.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
