Our Week

Monday morning we woke up to rain and soggy soccer fields, so practice was cancelled.  Daddy picked up the boys from school and started dinner, and the boys wanted to go for a bike ride before it was time to eat.  Great idea, guys!! 
Tuesday was a regular day of school and work, and Wednesday seemed to be the same.  Daddy and Pop Pop went to play in the Member Scramble, so Nana came to join us for dinner.  Beau began to complain a bit that he didn't feel well, but he ate dinner pretty well.  He said the strawberries and broccoli would make him feel better.  After repeatedly complaining of being cold and asking for a blanket at the table, we noticed his ears were super red.  After taking his temperature, we discovered it was upwards of 102 degrees!  Nana stayed with Lincoln, and Beau paid a visit to Pediatrics After Hours.  He was so tired and feverish, and they tested him for everything!  No ear infection, no sinus infection, no respiratory infection, no strep, no flu, no nothing but a fever!  We went home with instructions to give ibuprofen and Popsicles for a few days.  Beau was looking so sad laying on the exam table! 
Once home, Beau got a bath, meds, water, and a spot on the couch for a little tv time.  Oh, and of course he had shark hair!   
Daddy volunteered to stay home with Beau on Thursday because he couldn't go to school sick with a fever.  Curiously, Beau woke up with no fever AT ALL and needed no ibuprofen all day.  By 2:00 they were on the golf course . . . because Beau wasn't sick!!!  So thankful that fever was nothing at all and went away completely! 
We met up at the fields at Bowie for a make-up baseball practice at 6:00.  The boys had fun in a simulated game, and the grounds were so full of baseball/t-ball/soccer teams practicing.  Oh, and Beau is still not sick.  Hallelujah! 
We have a busy weekend planned, so we are glad everyone is well and rested.  Hold off rain, we've got plans!
