Two Hour Delay...for Noah

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When Evan got home from school yesterday, he didn't feel well.  Later in the night, Rachel took his temperature and it was 101.7.  So we kept him home from school today.  He had a low grade fever most of the day - around a 99.  His teammate and friend also came home sick from school yesterday.  So we did not send Evan to school today.

Noah did have school but it was delayed two hour because or road conditions.  It was 28 degrees over night with rain and freezing rain.  It was sunny this morning and delaying school was probably a good thing.  It was fine by the time everyone needed to go to school.

I had a haircut appointment at 10 after I had a meeting this morning.

I had two meetings in the afternoon.

I signed up for Disney+ today since it was the first day and I put it on Evan's phone so he could watch what he wanted.

Noah went to Grandma and Papa's for dinner this evening.  He was home for a little bit before he went over there.

Rachel picked up Yaghi's Pizza for us for dinner.  Evan requested it.

Rachel, Chewie and I went and picked Noah up.  Chewie enjoyed going to Grandma and Papa's.

Evan just worked on his Bar Mitzvah speech some.  He's now laying on the floor in my office.

Until next time...

Home Early From School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan wasn't feeling well this morning but he didn't have a fever or anything so we sent him to school. 

I worked from home for a while in the morning and then went into the Touch To office as someone from HomeAway was coming in for a meeting.  Rachel left to go teach.

I got a phone call towards the end of the meeting.  It was the school nurse.  She wanted to send Evan home.  He wasn't feeling well and didn't look well.  He still didn't have a fever.  I finished up the meeting and then drove and got Evan.

I tried to get Evan a doctor's appointment but the soonest I could get it was after 6pm.  I took the appointment and Evan laid down at home.  I had another meeting that I could call into.  When that meeting was over, I called a urgent care place and the could see Evan right away.

Rachel got home as I was about to take Evan.  She went and picked Noah up.

My big concern was that Evan had gotten the flu.  Obviously it's going around.  A boy from Evan's team got it.  So they tested Evan and luckily it came back negative.  They called in a prescription for Tamiflu in case Evan gets worse.  Hopefully he doesn't.

For dinner, we picked up Me Con Bistro and had it.  Evan didn't end up eating much.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Noah Back at School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel and I fully expected Noah to miss another day this morning.  When he went to bed he still had a fever and wasn't showing any signs of getting better.  I woke him up this morning and took his temperature and just as fast as his fever had come on, it was gone.  I asked him how he felt and if he wanted to go to school and he said he wanted to go to school.

I went into Aaron's for a bit today.  On the way home, I stopped at Smoothie King.

We walked to get the kids from school.  Evan ran up ahead.  He wanted to run all the way home.  He ran all the way to school this morning.  As we got to one corner, Evan came running back towards us with his eyes open big.  He said he saw a snake.  I went up an investigated and it was gone.  Our neighbor was behind us and he poked a stick into the plants that Evan said the snake came out of but it must have slithered off.  Probably it was as scared of Evan as Evan was of it.  I do not think it was any kind of poisonous snake or anything.

Deborah came over for after we got home.  She worked with Lizzy for a while and then I helped her with her site.

After that Josh and his dad came over and Rachel tutored Josh.

We had leftovers from last night for dinner.

Rachel is reading with Noah now and then he will go up to bed.

Until next time...

No School for Noah

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night before bed,  Noah took his own temperature and told us he had a fever.  I checked it before I put him to bed and sure enough, he had a fever.  I gave him some ibuprofen and it seemed to help but the fever was back when he got up this morning so Noah stayed home from school.

Rachel and Evan rode bikes to school.  Then Rachel walked to Ms. Wenske's classroom and asked for the school work for Noah.  She told Rachel that she'd send the work to Evan's class for him to bring home.

I met Rachel's cousin, Jacob, for lunch at Enchiladas y Mas.  It was good.  It had been a while since I was there.

Noah seemed to look worse in the afternoon.  Rachel offered to take him to Starbucks or something like that where he could get a cold drink but he didn't want anything.

I rode the bike to get Evan.

Noah managed to do some school work but then fell asleep in bed until dinner time.  He didn't eat dinner with us.  Rachel made a Filipino chicken recipe for the crock pot that she had found on the internet.

We're about to put the boys to bed, though Noah is sleeping on the couch at the moment.

Until next time...

End of the Streak

Hello everyone, this is morry.

Lou Gehrig. Cal Ripken, Jr. Noah Belkin.  All of them had amazing consecutive day (game) streaks going.  All of their streaks had to end some time.  For Noah, he went all the way through Kindergarten and nearly 3/4 of the way through first grade before he missed his first day of school.  But today when I checked on him in the morning, he had a low-grade fever.  He really didn't look good.  So we let him stay home from school.

Evan, though, was excited that Noah couldn't come to school.  That meant that I could ride bikes with him to school for the first time since Evan was in first grade.  The two of us rode bikes in the 38 degree weather.  It was pretty cold riding but it was fun.  Evan seemed to really enjoy it.

When I got home from taking Evan to school, Noah was downstairs.  He said his stomach hurt.  Rachel gave him some medicine.  He ended up having a bit of diarrhea.  Once he got it out of his system though, he seemed to really perk up.  In fact, by the afternoon, he was back to his normal self.

I rode a bike to pick Evan up.  I did talk to Ms. Wenske some while I waited for Evan to come out of school.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.

We had leftovers for dinner.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.  I think Noah will be able to go to school tomorrow.

Until next time...

Sick Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning when I woke Evan up, he told me everything felt like it was moving in slow motion.  I felt his head and it felt warm.  I took his temperature and he had a fever so he stayed in bed.  Rachel took Noah to school while I stayed home with Evan.

I went to Aaron's for just a tiny bit.

When I came home, Rachel went to a lunch at Whole Foods with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.  Evan watched a couple movies.  He asked that I bring my laptop and sit with him on the couch and do my work from the couch.

Rachel brought Evan home a smoothie from Smoothie King.  He drank it very quickly.

Rachel picked up Noah from school.  Later she went to tutor.

While Rachel was tutoring,  Uncle Scott's daughter, Erin and her girlfriend came to stay with us.  They are biking across the country and they are staying for a few days to catch up on sleep, laundry and showers.

I had to leave shortly after to meet a friend for Happy Hour.

When I came home, Rachel, Erin, Raychelle, and I had dinner.  Evan was already in bed.  He fell asleep pretty quickly.

Tonight was the draft for the Oak Hill baseball.  Noah is not playing this year.  I had gotten a couple emails from people asking about Noah and why he wasn't signed up.  A coach texted me tonight to say that Noah's name came up and people were all wondering why Noah didn't want to play.  This coach wanted me to make sure to tell Noah that people were asking about him.  I told him and he seemed happy that people were thinking of him.

Everyone is in bed now.

Until next time...

Skiing, Dallas, Sickness

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We got back yesterday in the afternoon after nearly 10 days away.  It was a good trip but now Noah and Rachel are sick.

We started out driving to Angel Fire, NM.  We left Friday morning, the 19th, at 5am.  It took about 13 hours to get there including stops.  Lizzy came with us.  The boys loved seeing snow on the ground.  Lizzy was also really excited for the cold weather and the snow.  The boys took snowboarding lessons on Saturday while Rachel and I skiied.  It was a great program as the rentals and lunch were included.  Apparently there was all kinds of equipment problems and it was the instructor's first class so the boys didn't get much snowboarding in.  The switched to skiing for the second day of lessons.  By the end of the lessons, the boys were able to ride on the lift with us and come down a green trail (which I must admit was a pretty aggressive green trail).  The next day we did a half-day pass.  Rachel opted out that day.  The boys and I took the super long ski lift to the top and then took a trail that took us about 40 - 60 minutes to get down the mountain.  It was a good experience for the boys.  Noah was very hesitant at the beginning but was flying at the end and ended up beating Evan and me.  Evan did well the whole way.

When we finished skiing it has begun to snow hard.  There was a courtyard from our room where Lizzy could run around and the boys could play.  Lizzy was rolling in the snow, chasing snowballs, while the boys had a snowball fight with some other kids and they build a snowman.  All three of them had a great time.

The ride to Dallas was very interesting.  We had to deal with snowy mountain roads, long stretches in the middle of nowhere with no place to stop, high winds, crazy tumbleweed, dust storms, and more snow on the way.  It was crazy.

I started to feel very sick on the drive, aches and congestion.  I ended up with a fever and stayed in best much of Wednesday, Thursday and into Friday.  Evan started to not feel well on Wednesday and Thursday and had his worst days on Friday and Saturday.  From there, Grandma came down with the sickness on Saturday on her birthday.  Rachel got sick on Sunday and Noah got sick today.

It's a good thing the boys are off all week.  Now we can recuperate.

Until next time...

No Sports Today

This morning we walked to school with Lizzy.

During the day Morry had a lunch meeting.

We walked with Keith to get the boys after school.

A little bit after getting home Noah's friend Caleb came over for the first time.  They seemed to have a good time together.  Evan played with them too.

When Caleb left Noah seemed like he didn't feel well.  We took his temperature and he had a slight fever.

For dinner we had hamburgers with Nikki and Keith.

After dinner Noah fell asleep on the couch.  We'll need to wake him up soon to get ready for bed.

We will see how he feels in the morning.

Evan's still sick

This morning we drove to drop the boys off at school.

Later it warmed up to the 60s so we walked to get them.  Evan seemed in a bad mood at pickup.  He said he didn't feel well.

He had a slight fever this afternoon, but felt better with Tylenol. 

He ate a pretty good dinner.

We'll see how he's doing in the morning.  If he still has a fever I'll make a doctor's appointment for him.

Soon, we'll put the boys to bed.

Sick Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, I went in Evan's room to wake him up.  I brought the thermometer with me as he had a slight fever before bed last night.  I took his temperature and it was 101.  So I tucked him back in.  He ended up sleeping until 11am.  Last week was such a busy week.  He really need that extra sleep.  When he woke up, he didn't have a fever.

Papa and Grandma left around the time that Evan woke up.

Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen and Maya went out for lunch.  I picked up smoothies for Evan, Noah and me.  Evan said he wanted a smoothie.  I also went to Target to buy Wreck-It Ralph for Evan to watch while he laid down.  Hotel Transylvania was on sale so I picked that up for him too.

Evan and Noah both ate their smoothies and they relaxed and watched the two movies. I made popcorn for them during the second movie.

Around 4pm, Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen and Maya left for the airport.  At 4:45, I took Noah to the baseball field for his baseball game.  Rachel had to tutor, so Gabby came over the house.

Noah's team won again.  Noah played really well. His hitting is really improving.  Last Friday, he hit the ball harder than I have seen him hit it, though he hit it right at the shortstop who through him out.  Today, he was hitting the ball perfectly where the fielders were not.  He seems to really enjoy being out there.

When we got home, Evan told me he wanted dinner.  This was significant because he hadn't really wanted or asked for food since Friday night.  He didn't finish his dinner but he did eat, so that was good. I made dinner for Noah as well.

They are in bed now.

Until next time...

Noah stayed home, Evan played baseball

Hello everyone this is Morry.

This morning, I woke Evan up for school.  He went to bed with a very slight fever.  I took his temperature when I got him up and he didn't have a fever so I took him to school.  It was an unusually cold morning for Austin at this time of year - around 32 degrees.  The high was in the 60s though (again unusually low for the end of March)

When Noah woke up, he didn't want to go to school.  With Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen, Maya, Grandma and Papa here, Noah really wanted to stay home with everyone.  Perhaps he has senioritis or whatever you call it when he's nearing his pre-school graduation.  Rachel let him stay home.  Papa put together his Razor scooter for him.  Everyone went to pick Evan up from school.

Evan wasn't feeling 100% when he got home.  He didn't want to eat dinner before his game.  I took his temperature and it was normal.  I talked to Rachel and we decided he should go to his game.  Everyone was going to come see him play.  When we got there, I ran to the snack stand and bought him some candy called Sour Punch, cotton candy and a Powerade.  I figured he'd eat one of those things and get some sugar in him.  He ended up eating the Sour Punch.

I was not sure how the game would go, though Evan perked up being around his friends.  He ended up having a great game at the plate.  He hit a high pop up which, coming off his bat, looked like it was going pretty far, but only ended up going to the edge of the infield, just on the grass.  Unfortunately, the  shortstop caught it.  Even the coach came over to me and said he thought it was going farther.  In the next inning, Evan hit a ball really hard between short and third for a solid single.  It was a really hard hit ball.  In his last at-bat, he hit a line drive over second base for a single.  Considering he was definitely not 100% I was surprised at how hard he was hitting the ball.  He didn't get many chances in the field, but he did well when he got the ball, particularly when he was in right center.  With so many people coming to see him, he had a very loud cheering section.

We came home and Evan immediately went to bed.  Noah stayed up and I just put him to bed.  He got all the Fly Guy series of books from Zayde.  He was so excited and he read half of one to me before he asked me to finish it.

Until next time...

Big Day - Sick Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had a very busy day today.  Today was the "opening day ceremony" for his baseball league.  I'm not sure why they waited 3 weeks into the season to have opening day.  Noah's team decided not to participate in the festivities, but Evan's team participated.  We got out to the field a bit after 9am.  It was really gray this morning and humid with a temperature in the low 50s.  It seemed really cold considering it's been in the 80s and 90s all week long.  Evan seemed to have fun with his buddies as they ran in when their team was announced.

We came home for about an hour and a half.  Noah was busy playing with Maya, Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen.  It was then that Evan seemed to not be totally himself.  Looking back he was a little more clingy to me at the ceremony, but at the time I didn't think much about it.  When Evan was cranky at home, I thought it was because he hadn't eaten.  Sometimes he goes a while without eating and he gets very cranky and he doesn't realize it's because he's hungry.  So I try to give him food only to have him turn it down.  Finally when he does eat, he gets back to his normal self.  He fought me on eating until we had to leave for his team pictures.  I brought some stuff in the car but he really didn't eat it.  I told him I'd take him to McDonald's after the pictures.

After pictures, we drove over to McDonald's but he wouldn't really eat that food. I was having him eat in the car on the way back to the field for his game.  He wasn't acting good and at first didn't want to play but he changed his mind and did want to play.  I had Rachel come to the field with Tylenol.  I got him a Sprite and filled him with as much water as I could because the day turned hot.

He played the entire game which went 6 innings.  He was catcher in three of the innings.  One inning I walked him out to the position holding his helmet while he was drinking.  Then another time I ran out with water as the inning ended.  He didn't have a very good game, not surprisingly, but I think he impressed people with his push to play.  He should have got a fly ball in right center.  He judged it perfectly and was right there but somehow dropped it.  I bet he would have had it if he had felt better.  Noah's coach, Mario, who was Evan's coach last year came out for some of the game to watch Evan.  It was nice.  Unfortunately he picked a bad game.

When we got home, I took Evan's temperature and he had a fever.  He laid down on my side of the bed and I put the tv on for him.  He did sleep some.

Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen, and Maya left for a wedding in the late afternoon.  That's the reason they are in town.  Noah stayed downstairs with Grandma and Papa.

For dinner, we had Johnny Carino's takeout.

Noah ate his dinner but Evan didn't eat.  He laid on the couch and watched the Lorax.

Evan is now in bed and Noah is in his room, but he's playing with his computer.

Until next time...

Back to the Gym

I dropped of Noah at school today and went for a run.

Morry and I decided to join the gym again.  We took Evan there today.  Morry and I did a Yoga class while Evan went to the Kids Club.  After Yoga Evan and I played some basketball in the gym.  Morry went home since he had a phone meeting.

Evan and I picked up Noah from school and then came home and ate lunch.

I got dinner ready and made juice in the juicer today.

Morry started not feeling well this afternoon. It turns out he has a little bit of a fever.  For dinner, I made a sandwich for me since Morry wasn't eating.  We'll use the food I prepared for dinner tomorrow.

The boys are just about ready for bed.

Wet Walk

We took it easy at home this morning and then went to the pool around 11:30am.  Evan and Noah wanted to walk there.  It was a hot walk, but they both did well.

Evan made a friend at the pool.  He met this kid, Luke, who is also going into first grade.  Luke goes to another school in our neighborhood.  Noah had fun jumping into the shallow end. 

We noticed some dark clouds were rolling in and then it started to sprinkle.  As soon as the drops got big, the lifeguards had everyone get out of the pool.  We started walking home in the drizzle, but before we could get home it started pouring.  We got very wet.  Evan thought it was fun.  Noah whined some. 

We took a funny video.  The kids were splashing in the puddles before we came inside and a big thunder surprised all of us.

The rest of the day was spent at home.  It's been raining pretty hard for the last few hours.

Noah has a slight fever right now.  He told us he wasn't feeling well at dinner time so we took his temperature.  We'll keep an eye on him and see if he'll be able to go to school tomorrow.

This week Evan is doing Mad Science Camp.  He's very excited about it.

Soon, we'll put the boys to bed.

Sick Morry

This morning Morry woke me up around 6am to tell me he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be able to walk Evan to school. I got Evan up and dressed and we walked to school. Once he was truly awake he was in a good mood.

I went for a 3 mile run and when I got back both Morry and Noah were still sleeping.

I got Noah ready for school and dropped him off.

I was home for a few minutes and then left for a meeting for MB Squared stuff. The meeting lasted until it was time to pick up Noah from school.

I got Noah and came home.

By this point Morry was really feeling awful. He had a horrible headache and a slight fever. He needed to see a doctor. Our usual doctors office only had after hours times available starting at 7:15 pm. They offered us a sooner appointment at the Kyle office (about 30 minutes away) and we took the 3:30 appointment.

We all got in the car and drove to Evan's school. Morry stayed in the car while Noah and I picked up Evan.

We made the drive to Kyle.

Morry was in the doctors office for about an hour. I was trying to entertain the kids in the waiting room, outside, and in the car. Finally they called us to come in and see and Morry. They had given him 2 heavy duty shots (Demerol and Phenergen) and he was pretty woozy. We had to wait about 30 minutes to make sure he didn't have a reaction. Then, they wheeled Morry to the car.

Morry has pretty much been laying on the couch ever since we got home. I asked him what the doctor said, but he's not sure since he was in so much pain and drugged up. He has two prescriptions to take now for the headache and nausea. I hope he starts feeling better soon.

I was supposed to tutor tonight but canceled two of my students.

Monday, September 19, 2011

Sick Evan

This morning Evan came into our room a little before the alarm went off. He wanted his temperature taken. It was 99-something. We asked if he felt like going to school and he said no.

Evan ended up staying at home with me today.

We dropped off Noah at school and then went through the drive through at the bank.

Evan took it easy at home and seemed to be doing ok.

Then, mid afternoon he said he didn't feel well. I took his temperature and it was 101.1. I gave Evan some ibuprofen.

I tutored one student tonight and then came home for dinner.

We had pasta and now we are about to get the boys ready for bed.

Evan is acting like he feels better right now.

We'll see how he does tonight and tomorrow morning. I'm not sure he'll go to school tomorrow. We'll see.

Afternoon at the Gym

It took a while to get dressed and get out of the house today. I packed a lunch for us and we went to the gym around noon.

I worked out first and then got the boys from the child care. We swam and ate our lunch at the outdoor pool. Evan and Noah were both very good and listened when it was time to leave.

I tried to get Noah to nap, but he fought it. Eventually it got quiet and I found him asleep in his rocking chair.

We left the house around 5pm to go to Wonders and Worries. Morry met us there. We signed up for a parenting class that meets once a week for a while. They dinner for all of us and activities for the kids while we were in the class.

The dinner wasn't that filling so on the way home I got Panera and Morry got Popeye's for dinner.

When we got home Evan said he wasn't feeling well and was cold. He has a fever. I'll try to make an appointment for both boys tomorrow morning. Noah has been coughing a lot, but I think it's just a cold or allergies, but I'd like to get him checked out too.

Morry is reading to the boys now and then they will hopefully go to bed.

Underwear to School

Noah came in my room when he woke up and he asked where Evan was. Noah told me Evan was not in the game room or his room. I started to worry. I went Evan's room and he was asleep completely under the covers. I asked Noah to leave Evan's room, but I guess while I was getting dressed Noah went back in there and woke Evan up. Evan didn't seem upset, but he told Noah not to wake him up tomorrow.

This morning Noah put up fight when it came time to get dressed. I tried to hold him down, but he made it very difficult for me to get his clothes off and he kept pulling off the clothes I tried to put on him. My chest still gets sore when I have to use the muscles and I just couldn't fight him anymore. Noah went to school with his pajamas shirt on and just his underwear. Once we got in the classroom he let me get him dressed the rest of the way.

While the kids were in school I ran 3 miles and met the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls for lunch.

After picking up the boys we went to HEB.

Noah did end up sleeping at nap time today.

Blanca came at 3:45 and I tutored.

When I got home we had tacos for dinner. Evan kept asking Morry to make more shrimp for him. Evan ate 22 of the cocktail shrimp!

Noah looked like he didn't feel well tonight. He's been coughing the last 2 days. We took his temperature just now and he has a slight fever. We gave him some medicine. I hope he feels better.

Both boys are in bed now, but not asleep.

A Day at Home

This morning the plan was to get together with Susie and Ryan. We are going to give them our crib and they were planning on coming over here and going out to lunch with us. I let Susie know that Evan was sick and they decided to reschedule.

Evan still had a slight fever this morning so we just stayed home. This was the first time in a long time that we could just hang out at home. We had nothing going on and no where to be.

After lunch I gave the boys haircuts outside.

Then, for nap time Noah watched a movie in his room and Evan and Morry watched tv downstairs.

For dinner we went to Hula Hut. We sat our their deck, but they had heaters so it wasn't too bad. Noah got a corn dog and ate pretty well. He still picks off the breading and just eats the hot dog. We ordered shrimp for Evan, but he didn't eat anything.

When we got home we were going to give both boys baths, but Evan said he just wanted to go to bed. I gave Noah a bath and Morry put Evan to bed.

The boys are in bed now and they both seemed pretty tired.

Evan's Tummy

Last night Evan didn't eat much for dinner. Around 2am he came in our room and told me he was hungry. I got him an orange and sat in the game room with him while he ate it. He said he wanted more to eat, but I asked him to wait until the morning.

Morry left the house around 5:30am and Evan got up again at that time too. Morry gave Evan some food to eat in the game room. A little while later Evan came in our room crying that his stomach was hurting. I felt so bad for him. I offered him some Sprite or to rub his stomach but he didn't want either.

We ended up staying at home today. We had plans to go to a lunch for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls, but Evan still wasn't feeling well. He did end up eating a little bit of lunch today.

At nap time, I tried to put Noah down, but he wouldn't nap. He was screaming and crying at his door, unplugged the monitor and night light, pulled the sheets and comforter off his bed. Eventually, I just gave up and let him go in the game room.

For dinner we all went out to eat at Mongolian Barbecue. Noah ate very well. Evan hardly had anything and was complaining a lot at dinner. He said he was cold, but wouldn't put on his sweatshirt.

When we got home Morry took Evan's temperature and he had a slight fever.

Both boys are in bed now, but not asleep.
