Sick Boys

Well, the boys have been sick this week. Camden had a sore throat and fever. And as soon as it cleared up, Jackson came down with the same thing (but he has been much more sick than Camden). Shea took Jackson to the doctor Friday night and the throat culture was negative for strep, but they sent it to the lab and will let us know for sure on Monday. But the nurse told him that the best thing for sore throats is popsicles, Gatorade and Gogurts. So now I'm not sure he even wants to get better after the diet he's pulled off the last couple of days!

Along with the fever has come crazy dreams for Jackson. He woke up at 5:00 the other morning so mad at me. He said that I had asked him if he wanted any sausages (in his bed) and that I never brought them! He still insists that this was not a dream. It was so funny hearing him tell this to Shea on the monitor when he went up to see what he was so hysterical about. Shea said, "Your mom didn't bring your Skittles?" To which Jackson exclaimed: "NOOO - Sausages!!" And Shea replied, "I'm sorry, it sounded like you said sausages." "Yes! Sausages! She said she would bring me some and she never did!!"

Unfortanely for Big 'Un and Nana, they weren't able to see Jackson play in a soccer game this weekend. Shea left for the game all alone on Saturday morning to coach, while Jackson, Camden, the grandparents and I all stayed home and watched the Bee Movie and recuperated from the sleepless, sick night. I think they had a good visit, regardless. We enjoyed having them here. Elaine was so sweet to help me in the yard and Big 'Un got in a little tee ball with the boys. We are so blessed that our children have such wonderful grandparents. We even got to see Nanny P (or "P" as Camden calls her) for a short while. Her arthritis has her in a lot of pain most of the time. It was nice to see her out - Camden loved stealing her french fries and dipping them in her gravy at lunch (and she loved it, too!). We'll have to remember to get a picture of that next time.
