The Flu & Jamie's Birthday

Well, we thought we had escaped the flu this year but unfortunately all of us did not. Last week Luke was one sick little man! His temp went up to 103.7 under his arm so if you add the .5 to 1.0 degrees that you are supposed to add his temp was actually over 104!!! We went to the pediatrician and they tested him for the flu and it came back positive. Even with the Tamiflu he ran a fever for 6 days and was pitiful!

On top of the fact that he had the flu he was coughing his head off and wheezing so we also had to endure breathing treatments three times a day. Big sister was a big help and would keep him company while he did his treatments.
During this time came Jamie's birthday. I had made reservations to take him to dinner on his birthday as a special treat because all day on his birthday he coached the first practice of Eli's soccer season. Well, needless to say, we could not leave Luke with a sitter so our plans had to be put on hold! (We did make it to dinner - just a week late!) Instead we bought a cute little cake and celebrated at home.



The frog eyes on Dad's cake were a big hit!
