Time for your checkup

Happy Monday! After weeks of traveling, we finally had a weekend at home and we took full advantage to do nothing!  As I mentioned last week, Spencer, Robert and I have all been sick and we just needed a weekend to catch up on rest.  It all started when Spencer got a cold with terrible congestion a week ago Friday. We went to the lake the next day and Robert and I came home with the same cold. It was a pretty miserable week as the cold knocked. us. out. Spencer was still obviously feeling the effects of it too because he was not himself all week.  Not at all.  I’m talking laying out on the floor, kicking and screaming tantrums every day. I had no idea what was causing it and even stopped giving him his Singulair to see if that was making him act crazy. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday to get him checked out but nothing was wrong except congestion. He also had this terrible bite of some sort on his cheek from the lake that I was afraid was causing something – what I don’t know?! But, the doctor wasn’t really worried about the bite either. We continued through the week with tantrums every day and then he was a terror during therapy Friday morning so I gave him some Advil after that and it seemed to make a big difference. He did fine all Friday afternoon and has had a GREAT weekend. Totally back to the happy little boy I know. Robert and I, after being sick all week and thinking we were done with the cold, both still felt pretty lousy, tired and lethargic all weekend. I just have to think that if Spencer was feeling that way too – with no real meds to help him out – then no wonder he’d been a pill all week!

Hopefully we’re back to normal now. And we thankfully got the ok from Dr. Maxwell this weekend after a thorough check-up!

Say AHHHHHH

Let me take a close look…

and a little closer look!

Taking the temp…

Apply magic all-healing plastic band-aid…

And a thumbs up from Dr. Brown!

Hopefully that’s the end of all the sickness for now!
