Our Kids

Well that is what I get for thinking we turned a corner, lol! Lela was the last to get sick and with a mom 37 weeks pregnant and two sisters sick ahead of you being the last one sick is no fun. By the time Lela got around to getting sick I was out of gas from the Rotovirus and whatever other virus Piper had gotten and passed along.

So lethargic Lela laid on the sofa all day Friday, stopped eating and drinking on Saturday and by Sunday my momdar started going off and I knew this was different than what Piper had had originally. Sunday morning Jason headed off to the Apple store with Piper and Landis in tow and right after he left I decided Lela needed to go to urgent care. I schlepped her down there and we met with a really nice doctor that said he was concerned with the sound of her cough but did not hear anything in her lungs. I brought her back home (with 3 prescriptions I did not intent to fill) and she had a spurt of energy followed by surly lethargy. She wouldn’t drink unless I badgered her.

Monday (today) rolled around and I was on the horn with the ped at 8AM making an appt. I took all 3 girls in since my ped is awesome about checking them all when one of them has something. Good news is that Piper was cleared for school and Landis sounded fine. Bad news was that Lela has pneumonia in her left lung. Sigh, enter the train:)

On the bright side we caught it super early and she should be fine in the next few days. She has already perked up around here but that might be because she is missing more than just the playoff football games now that Piper is back in school. Anyhoo, it has been a twin love fest since Piper got home from school so I expect Lela will sleep well tonight after playing non stop with Piper all afternoon.
