A Long Weekend in the North



This past weekend, we headed up to Tomahawk for the first time since New Years. This was Alayna's first trip and we were so looking forward to some nice relaxation. Just as any parent knows - with kids - nothing goes as planned. Grant woke up Sat morning with another fever and not feeling well. He got sick once in the morning and spiked a 103.5 temp by afternoon. We pumped the Tylenol in him and gave him as much water and bland food as he would take (not much - but he did enjoy the popsicles).
By Sunday morning his fever was down, but he still felt crummy. We figured his ear infection had come back, but we were wrong. On our way home we stopped at urgent care. It is his throat - tonsilitis I guess. It's not strep, but he has nasty white stuff in his throat and it looked awful. I feel so bad for him. They didn't give us anything for it. Just said to continue with Tylenol. Poor kid!
The last 3 weekends have been bad for him. Hopefully Mother's Day will be better :)
Alayna on the other hand - had a great time at the lake. She loved spending time up there and is excited to go back.
She is also a big fan of her mobile that is now up on her crib. She will lay in there for a good 20-30 mins and watch those silly animals!
