Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend.

Friday my friend (neighbor too) Lisa watched Madison and Ethan because my sitter had to move her daughter to college. Lisa called me around 1:30 because Madison was screaming and screaming and complaining about her tummy hurting. Madison is rarely sick so this was weird. She gave her some pepto and we hung up. An hour later she called me back. No change. So I told her I was on my way. When I got to her house, Maddie was asleep on the couch. She didn't sleep long and woke up not long after I got there. I got her home and took her temp...over 102. I called nurse direct and was told to give her Tylenol ever 4 hours, have her take a bath or put a warm wash cloth on her belly, liquids...ya know all that fun stuff. She was talking all crazy and they say that children do that when their temp is over 102. Hmmm Her temp would go up and down up and down. We could tell every time it was over 102. Saturday morning she was or seemed fine. She had dance - Fall classes started. After we got home it didn't take long and she was talking weird and sure enough she had a fever again. She took a long 4 hour nap and was fine afterwards. We finally went to our neighbors 3rd annual party around 7 something pm..it started at 5pm. She was fine the entire time. I can't remember when I brought her and Ethan home. He had been sleeping in our neighbor's spare room. All day Sunday...she was fine...nothing. Than yesterday we got our boat ready to go to the lake. We had plans to meet some of our neighbors at Jefferson Park so they could go boating with us and the kids could tube. We were waiting for everyone to get there and Madison started acting weird AGAIN. Ugh! She wouldn't take anything and was walking around and yelling at me to not talk to her...even when I hadn't said a word in a while. Well everyone showed up and we had 11 people on our boat (5 adults, 4 kids ages 3-5, a 1 year old, and sweet Ethan) Madison and Kenzie went out on the tubes and had a blast...even though Maddie felt bad. That was the only time she went all day. She didn't complain at all just sat on the boat. Kenzie than went with her sister Lorna. Than Kenzie went with Archer...than Kenzie went with Me. I don't even know if Kenzie stopped much. She must have but she reminded me of Maddie. Well on a normal day when Maddie feels good. My friends that had their camera should be sending me pictures soon..I will have to share. Ethan slept most of the time but poor Holland wanted to be all over the boat and of course she wasn't able to be. She is only 1 so it is hard to not be moving when she wants. After we got home..yes Maddie had a fever. Are we terrible parents or what? She wanted to stay on the boat when we asked her or I would have taken her home. When we got home we gave her Motrin instead of Tylenol. That stuff is amazing. Her fever was gone right away and so far...it hasn't come back. She went to daycare today and was fine all day. I am not sure but I guess something must have been going around.
