Started off great. We got there late on Friday night. The girls went to bed and slept great. Saturday and Sunday the whole family was together and having fun. I introduced a new drink to my dad (Mojitos) and he loved them. The weather was beautiful and we hung out outside all weekend. Av swam, the boys played some new game, and my mom, sister and I laughed like we had not in a long time. We also celebrated my dad’s birthday with another shrimp boil that everyone loved. Sunday night Camille woke up with a fever. Then the real fun began. She had a fever and was very fussy. Av had a cough that just got worse and worse. By Tuesday we decided it was time for an urgent care doctor. Not sure really how we ended up at the one we did but it was bad. It was back in some industrial park and the awning was dirty and falling off. The inside was just as un-impressive. Not even really sure why we stayed other than I was desperate. The triage nurse was totally not interested in making sure our vitals were correct. She read the scale wrong saying Av was only 24 lbs when really she is about 30. She didn’t know how to take a pulse the old fashioned way and when she realized the paper for the table had dropped behind it she was too lazy to pick it up. She just brushed off the table and said it would be fine. When the doctor came in she immediately fixed it. The doctor was actually really good and gave the girls just what they needed. Av needed a steroid and antibiotic for bronchitis and Camille got an antibiotic too so she didn’t get the bronchitis. We didn’t really think Av needed the steroid and we wanted her to sleep so we got it filled but didn’t give it to her. By morning though she needed it. She was really working hard to breath. It was really scary. The steroid worked though. It had her up and bouncing off the walls in no time. She went from being really energetic to being kind of aggressive. Other then that Av was good. Camille on the other hand was fussy, fussy, fussy. So much so that on Thursday I had about had it and was really to lose it. Back to another urgent care we went. This one was much nicer. They really could not find anything wrong with her so it had to be a virus and teeth. What made it worse too, all week we were kind of in a limbo, debating on whether my mom and I should take the girls back to Louisville so we would have our doctor. Things kind of turned around on Friday though. Of course, just in time for Daddy to question what Mommy had been stressing about all week. Then just when we thought we were over all of it, Av woke up with vomit crusted all over her. She now has a little flu and Camille is back to being really stuffy with a runny nose. Can they just get better please!!! I did have a good week with my parents and sister and I have no idea what I would have done without them. I am just sorry it was not the week for them they wanted. Some highlights of the week were: my Aunt Jenny coming to visit us and the girls, the fondue my sister made us for dinner, watching the girls have fun and interact with G&PP, shopping at the outlets with my sister (we got some great stuff), watching 3 movies and introducing my sister to Twilight, finishing the 3rd book in the Twilight series, watching Av in her new pool, planting flowers with my mom, and getting Starbucks brought to me in the morning from the best dad in the whole wide world!!!!
