Quarantine!

Filed under: Caroline, Children, Ryan — D @ 10:18 pm

Ryan got sick after our trip to the zoo on Saturday. He was really tired towards the end of the trip (we were there a LONG time) and passed out on the train ride. He then slept all the way home and napped until about 4:30. I woke him up to check on him and he was hot, so I told him he needed to drink some juice/water to rehydrate or I was afraid he would get sick. Next thing you know, he is spewing 3 gallons of Capri Sun at me. (I am sure it wasn’t that much, but it was A LOT!) It took us hours to get his temp down and some pedialyte into him. He felt terrible. He spiked a fever that night and all day Sunday. He kept complaining of a sore throat. We thought it was because he threw up.

Since he still had a fever today and continued complaining of a sore throat, I took him to see the doc. I thought it was going to be Strep, however, he has Hand, Foot and Mouth. The good news is, it is just in his mouth. The bad news is, he won’t eat or drink anything. Or take any medicine to help his throat not hurt. Grrr! He napped all afternoon and then finally after he woke up, he started drinking and took some Motrin.

Tonight Caroline was super whiney and crabby. I checked her throat and she has a few blisters on the roof of her mouth. So hopefully it will stay inside her mouth and not get all over her hands and feet. I figured she’d get it too. Poor things!

So we are quarantined until they are both fever free and over this. I really really hate to be cooped up for so long! However, it’s supposed to be in the high 90’s the rest of this week. If we need to cool off we’ll just go hop in the little wading pool out back!

Some recent pictures, Enjoy :)

We are still busy as a bee here. Caroline’s tongue is fully healed and she is doing great. She is now trying to run everywhere and is climbing things she shouldn’t. We are in awe of how cute she is and how perfect she fits our family.

Ryan finished school and is now officially on my nerves :P We are trying to keep busy every day to let some of his energy out. Whether it’s a walk in the neighborhood where he rides his bike or a trip to the zoo, aquarium or playground, we go every day. He’s really gotten good with the bike.

I’ll post pictures later today. We are going to the Bluebell Icecream factory to see how they make it. Ryan is super excited to ’sample’ it after we are done. Looking forward to another busy week with a visit to the Blueberry farm for picking and OKC Zoo to meet other Adoptive Parents. Should be a great week!
