Then, on the 26th, Aiden woke up with some trouble breathing and threw up a touch - but luckily it wasn't a stomach bug. Landon was already home and knew Aiden had to be home - so Austin stayed home, too, which ended up being a good thing. I got Landon and Aiden appointments with the doctor - especially for Aiden's breathing - and right before we left I noticed Austin had a high fever! So off we went!
Here is what Aiden did that morning while waiting to leave for the doctor - he did not feel good! :(
Here are Landon and and Austin that morning - lots of quiet time. It was about this time I started thinking Austin had been pretty quiet!
The doctor agreed it was a virus - probably a strain like hand foot and mouth, but not actually that kind. Aiden got some treatments for his breathing and Landon got the green light it wasn't strep and he could go back to school the next day. She also checked Austin out, but he was doing pretty good at that point.
Well, as the day went on he went down hill. Aiden perked up a bit with the breathing treatments and meds, but Austin was crashing. Mid afternoon - fever over 101. But by 5pm - his fever spiked to 105. Yes, I said 105!! Luckily with meds and a nap it broke and didn't spike that high again. I just hate fevers!
Here's Austin when his fever was the highest - that is so hard on their little bodies!
It was a long evening worrying, but that night all 3 boys slept pretty well, all things considered.
