Well, yesterday was my birthday and I turned the bit 3-0!! That's right folks. I'm 30. And not a minute sad about it. However, yesterday wasn't my best day ever. Let me explain....
Zander came to me probably Monday morning and told me his hands hurt. He had a few small bumps on them, but I didn't think much about it. Then they got worse. On Tuesday night at dinner he complained of his throat hurting so much he cried when he tried to eat. On Wednesday, Michael took him to the doctor, and he has hand-foot-mouth disease. We just learned about this in my pediatrics class, how could I miss it?! I feel like a horrible mom and like I'm not on track to be a great PA either. That same night I noticed Keagan wouldn't eat and looked in his mouth, and sure enough, he has it too. Keagan doesn't have any sores on his hands or feet, but his mouth is bad. The last few nights have been horrible. Zander is getting better, and his sores are all healing, but Keagan is a few days behind. He wakes up about every hour crying that it hurts. Yesterday, he cried almost all day long except when he would crash on the floor somewhere. He won't eat, he won't sleep...Michael and I feel like we're going crazy. Anyway, I felt bad dumping them on my parents when Keagan was so unhappy, but we needed some sanity time, so we took advantage and went out for my birthday last night.
We had dinner at Famous Dave's and it was delicious! After dinner we went to Gardner Village. We went on a carriage ride and just shopped around. I've never been there before and it was really fun. I even got an apple cider to keep me warm as we walked around. I got a few fun pictures, too.
Here's us in taking our carriage ride. The pictures were taken with my phone, so there's no flash. Sorry they're so dark.
Then here's a couple pictures of the trees with their lights. That's probably my favorite part of Christmas, the lights. They are so pretty!So, what started out to be a rough day ended up to be a great birthday!
Thanks Michael and Mom and Dad!
