Poor Noah

We could tell Noah didn't feel 100% on his birthday.  He didn't eat any cupcakes!

Yesterday he still wasn't feeling well and stayed home from school.  I took him to the doctor and the doctor just thinks it a virus he's getting over.  The doctor recommended Tylenol for his headache and Mylanta for his slightly upset stomach.  He thought the headache is caused by not eating enough so the Mylanta should help get his appetite back.

Noah stayed home again today.  We think he had a slight fever last night and this morning.  He seems to be doing a lot better today and will hopefully go back to school tomorrow.

In the meantime, Evan had practice yesterday and today.  I tutored.  Noah ate dinner with Grandma and Papa tonight.

Evan's finishing his homework.  Noah's getting ready for bed.

Both Back At School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

For the first time in 2016, both boys went to school at the same time.  It was not without difficulty.  Noah refused to take his medicine, either the Tylenol or the antibiotic this morning.  He was just choosing to be difficult.  He wouldn't get up and walk with us when we left, so I ended up carrying him all the way to the top of the Doswell trail.  Rachel carried/dragged/pulled him the rest of the way down.

At lunch, Rachel went to Whole Foods for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.  Ironically, I had planned to meet my friend Jeff there not knowing it was a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls day.  As Rachel was checking out, her phone rang.  It was the school nurse.  Noah was complaining about his throat and wanted Tylenol.  The school nurse cannot give it to him.  Rachel called Grandma who went over and gave him the medicine.

I walked to get the boys while Rachel had her first full day back at tutoring.  Both boys were in good moods on the way home.

We had pasta for dinner.

The boys are about to go to bed.

Until next time...

Grandma, Papa, Home Depot

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel got up early to go for a run with a friend.  They ran some and then Rachel's friend got stung by a bee or a wasp.  They were near our house so they came back to the house and Rachel drove her home.

When Rachel got back, Evan was up and told her that he didn't feel well.  I came downstairs a short time later.  We took Evan's temperature and he had a fever.  We gave him Tylenol and the fever went away for a while.  He was acting fairly normal after that (though he does have a runny nose) until later in the afternoon.

I started to put fans in my office and the game room only to discover missing screws in the brackets in the ceiling.  I ran to Home Depot and got what I needed.

When I got back, Grandma and Papa were here.  They are here for the weekend to take care of their house stuff. They met a contractor at their house and gave him a deposit.  He is going to start working on Wednesday.

I was able to put a fan in my office, one in the game room, and a dimmer switch downstairs in the family room.

For dinner, Rachel picked up Salt Lick.

Everyone but Evan and me just walked over to Grandma and Papa's house.  Evan's fever had come back slightly.  I gave him medicine and he's in bed.  Hopefully he'll feel well enough to play baseball tomorrow morning.

Until next time...

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.

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...

Flu Shots, Noah's check up

Noah had his 6 month check up today. He is 26.5 inches long (50%) and 19lb 10oz (75-90%). The doctor was not concerned with his weight. She said to feed him as much as he wants now and when he starts moving more he will slim down. Poor Noah had to get a few shots today. He did well. He got a flu shot and some other things. I got my flu shot too since it was convenient. Morry declined.

Today was picture day at Evan’s school. Wendy said he did well. Hopefully it’s a good picture. Evan did not want to leave school today. He wanted to keep playing. Finally I was able to get him to leave by telling him Papa was coming today.

Noah was cranky all day. He seems to be sensitive to the shots. The doctor said to expect some fussiness and fever. At dinner he was really fussy and crying. Nothing seemed to be helping. We tried feeding him, holding him, … I had given him Tylenol 2 hours before, but that didn’t seem to help. We gave him Motrin and within minutes he was so much better and smiling again. That stuff is a miracle drug.

When Papa/Dad/Lenny got here Evan was very excited. He immediately ran up to him and showed him his Wall-E figure. Whenever people come over to the house Evan likes to show off and show them his toys. Evan showed Papa lots of his toys including all his new Toy Story stuff (Bulls Eye, the cups we got from the Disney Store, …).

Once Noah calmed down we had a nice dinner. We had tortillas with fajita meat and chicken, rice, and salad. At dinner Evan asked where Grandma was and we told him she’d be here in a few days.

Both boys are in bed now. Let’s hope they get a good night’s sleep
