Well, since my last post we have been to the doctor's office multiple times. Carter woke up last weekend with a 103.4 fever...nice. I took him to the doctor Monday afternoon and what do you know, he has strep. I must say the poor little guy felt miserable, but he had the best manners while he was sick. I guess not having a lot of energy and your throat hurting does that. I could tell that Tuesday afternoon he was back....loud and running around the house. I decided to keep him home from school one more day to be safe, but we were both happy he got to go back on Thursday.
Thursday afternoon I noticed Natalie had white around the inside of her mouth. She had been having diarrhea for a few days, so I was waiting for her to spike temperature, thinking she was going to get strep, but never did. I took her to the doctor Friday afternoon. She has thrush along with an ear infection, that she has had and has never cleared up...poor thing. We go back in 10 days to make sure the ear has cleared up. Natalie has been on some sort of antibiotic all but a few days for the past month. I am hoping this is not what we have in store for us this winter. I guess it is time to start not leaving the house again. I just really thought we had another few weeks before illness set in, but better safe than a hospital visit.
I actually went to the doctor this past week as well. Most of you do not know this, but I have a heart murmur that I have had since birth. My grandmother suggest I go, since it had been over 10 years and I am training for a half marathon. I had an echo Thursday afternoon and met with my cardiologist on Friday morning. I am happy to say, all is good! I do not have to go back from another 10 years. I actually have 4 small leaks in my valves, but 3 are extremely common and one not so much, but not uncommon. I have been blessed to never have problems.
Besides just doctors office visit, we also took Carter to the Tri-State Fair a few days before he got sick (probably how we got sick). He had a blast! My mom kept Natalie for us so we did not have to bring her along and worry about her getting sick. Out of all the rides, Carters favorite was a fire truck that went up and down in a circle. He still asks if he can ride the fire truck....he is having a hard to understand the Fair only comes once a year (thank goodness).
Natalie is a walking champion now! She is walking everywhere. She is still have to hold onto something to stand up, but once she gets that down....it is over. I have been working on trying to get a video of her walking to post, so look this week.
I am still running and training for my half marathon that is only two months away. I am up to 8 miles now!
