Sorry guys.  I know I was just back on my game, posting frequently.  Jordyn got really ill earlier in the week.  In fact, he was so ill I had to take him to the hospital ER because he had trouble breathing.  That was Tuesday - I’m starting to just now feel a little more calm.  When your 7 year old says, “Um, it’s hard for me to breathe.”  as he takes a breath between every other word, it kinda scares the hell out of you.  Here’s what happened.

Monday

When Jordyn woke up to go to school on Monday I could see on his face he wasn’t feeling well.  His eyes kinda turn colors and they sunk in a little.  I don’t know how to describe it other then to say that I just know when he’s coming down with something just by looking at him.  Momma’s intuition.  At any rate, his eyes were watering and he was sneezing and sniffling a lot.  At a certain point he just looked at me while eating his cereal and said, “I don’t want to go to school.  My head hurts.  I don’t feel well.”  So I let him stay home.  He was running a low fever 99.8.  Clearly he didn’t feel well.  I gave him a little medicine and by the end of the day he almost looked like normal again.  I thought he would go to school Tuesday because even he was saying how much better he felt.  We all went to bed happy.

Tuesday

When we woke up for school he had the same look as Monday morning.  I inquired as to how he was feeling.  He pretty much said how he didn’t feel well again and had a headache again.  So I let him stay home.  I noticed he started to have this dry nagging cough so when I brought Aryanna to school I picked up some medicine for him and gave him some when I got back.
