My poor children...

JoJoEspana · January 2012

It has been a rough couple of days.

Caroline was sick all weekend - I assumed virus or ear infection because she had a fever, was lethargic, no appetite, etc. She woke up from her nap yesterday with a 106 (!) degree fever. Joey was gone and unreachable (playing tennis), so I took her to CHOA, and of course her fever was down by the time we got there. They tested her for strep and pneumonia, but they both came back negative, so we're just assuming it's something viral. And luckily Smith hasn't gotten it yet.

So today, I changed Smith's diaper on the ottoman in our living room and then turned my back for 2 seconds to say something to Caroline. And he rolled off, hit the diaper caddy, and then hit his head on a toy fire truck when he hit the ground. He had a big goose egg, which didn't really worry me so much, but then this line appeared from the goose egg all the way down to the base of his skull, so I was convinced he'd fractured his head and we took him to the pedi. Luckily everything was fine, but obviously it scared me to death and I felt like the worst mom in the world.

They are both down for the night now, and I'm drowning my day in a glass of wine.

I hope C is on the mend and that S is feeling better too. You are a great mom. They will be good as new after a good night's sleep. Enjoy your wine and have a glass for me!

You deserve a bottle of wine for sure. I hope the rest of your week goes smoothly!

You deserve a whole bottle! So sorry, you are a wonderful mom who has had a rough few days...hang in there!

I agree. You definitely deserve a whole bottle! I hope things get better ASAP! Wine makes everything better (at least it seems that way)!

Oh gosh mama! Poor babies and poor you. Glad Smith is ok, and Caroline too. Enjoy that glass of wine, maybe have another...

HUGS!!! Bailey always got those weird viruses and it drives me crazy b/c there is nothing you can do. And Bryce poor kid always has at least one bruise on his face. I did the exact same thing you did today except Bryce was on the couch and I was getting after Bailey for touching the tv. It was horrible but Bryce was perfectly fine.
