Our Halloween was very eventful, we were looking forward to doing all the fun Halloween traditions, carving pumpkins,visiting grandparents, and of course trick or treating, but all that went out the window as Parley woke up halloween morning with a fever of 104 and throwing up. I thought oh its just a little flu bug, a little motrin and he should be back to good, well after a 3 hour nap halloween morning i went into check his temperature and I watched as the numbers kept going up and up, once it got to 105 with no sign of stopping i gave him some more motrin and put him in the car and we were off to Instacare, I called on my way and of course there was a 2hour wait, I called my doctor at home on a saturday and he advised us to go to Primarys, so off i went on the back roads of course because the freeway happened to be closed. We made it to primarys, Parley still had a fever of 104 and was very sleepy and lethargic, I hated seeing him like this, it was awful. After being there for an hour or so they sent us home with a prescription for tamiflu, They apparently don't test for the swine flu anymore because the test wasn't accurate, so if you are showing symptoms than they will treat you. Parley had all the symptoms and now 4 days later all 3 of my kids are on tamiflu, but we haven't seen a fever for 2 days on anyone which is a great sign, so Don't be afraid of us, I think we are pretty much completely swine flu free!! Now the kids all have a little cough, but they shouldn't be contagious anymore! Needless to say our Halloween was a downer,Parley felt so bad about trick or treating it was ripping my heart out, so we let him go in our culdesac at 5:30 so there were no kids out yet. they had fun trick or treating for 15 minutes and Ella of course was not a fan of her costume but did wear it for me for about 10 minutes and was thrilled when i took it off of her. Definitely a Halloween to remember! Hope everyone else's was a little better than ours.
Our little Peter Pan that really wasn't feeling great and the face shows it!
And this is what Parley did for 2 days! poor kid!

Oh my gosh I had no idea! I kept thinking I needed to call you this week and I'm so sorry that I didn't. What can I do for you guys? Is everyone feeling better yet? I still want the boys to come over and play, but we've still got runny noses over here as well. As soon as everyone is healthy again!
