Strep, Teeth, and Ear infections....

Wow - what a day/night we had yesterday! It started out yesterday morning. Landon was complaining his "neck" hurt every time he swallowed, and that his tummy hurt. He was wrapped under three blankets and still shivering. When HE told ME that he just wanted to go sit down and relax, I knew someone had Strep. Usually it's me telling him to go take a break for a minute. The kid literally runs from sun-up to sun-down. Then there's Colton, didn't want to crawl, didn't want to play, didn't want to EAT. Now, we all know how much Colton LOVES his food - like his mama.
  Chris was getting ready to report back to Minot. He was planning on leaving around four-ish in the afternoon. Well, being the good dad that he is, he couldn't leave his sick kids. He ended up staying and helping out until seven at night. Poor guy didn't make it back to Minot until after Midnight. Luckily, him and Colton had a good afternoon nap. Thank you again Chris for your help!
 Last night was a little rough. I finally got the baby to sleep a little after midnight. Then about fifteen minutes later,  Landon came into the room with a 102 fever. Got Landon some medicine and then Colton woke back up. Poor Colton was crying almost all night. Needless to say, I got a whole hour of sleep last night.
  This morning we went to the clinic. Both boys have strep, and Colton has a double ear infection! Poor babies. We have been pretty lucky this year. In fact- the last sickness we had was almost a year ago to the day. I am doing my best at making sure the boys are happy, hydrated, and comfortable. Praying mom can get at least a few hours of sleep in tonight :)
