Doctor, Doctor, and one more Doctor

Doctors have been a common theme this month.

Starting back on March 4 Kjerstin started running a fever around 104.2. Mortin took it down but she ran the fever for about 5 days. No other real symptoms a little runny nose and a small cough nothing major. She did not go to the doctor.

March 9th Ashlyn started running a fever, 103.8. It ran a course for about 3 days. With one flare up a couple days after it stopped.

March 12 Kehan started running a fever that afternoon. He was 103.9. I took Kehan in the next day a Friday. One, because it was Friday and if something was going to happen it would happen on Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday. I was being proactive and Kehan is my child with a reactive airway. To me it was preventive medicine. In the end the doc said it was a virus his airways sounded fine. He gave me a Rx in case he got worse. He ran the fever through Sunday, March 15.

March 16 Ashlyn jumps to 103.5 in the afternoon. Quinten starts feeling sick.
March 17 Ashlyn wakes up and is at 103.5 again, or still I guess. I make and appt for her with the doctor. Prognosis: ear infection and some throat infection (she had a puss pocket on one of her tonsils) Zpack for the next 5 days. Quinten got some meds too.

March 18 I go to the doctor to check on my blood pressure still being affected slightly from Ashlyn's pregnancy. Well let me rephrase that. I developed High BP during that pregnancy and it was lingering post partum and some days it is still high. I am glad to say that I have been off meds for a year and all is fine. My BP is still slightly elevated when I was at the doctor it was 128/86 not bad but not really great either. We ran some tests and the doctor proclaimed me a very healthy woman! He said he would not want to put me on medication. So just a bit more exercise when I can fit it in and a clean bill of health for me.

March 19 Kehan starts screaming about his ear hurting, no fever. I gave him Mortin and 3 hours later he was screaming about it again. I had daycare kids at my house so my wonderful Mother in-law took Kehan to the doctor for me! Double ear infection!

Now at the end of March everyone finally seems well. I pray it continues like this and the cycle doesn't repeat itself!

I hope everyone reading this had a better month of March health wise than my children and husband. Really you'd think I'd been the one sick as I am wiping the runny noses all day!
