The end of our week had it's up's and down's. JJ got sick Thursday night and of course in true kid fashion it was the middle of the night. He came down stairs with this awful barking cough, he'd cough and cough and cough then gasp for air. That with the 104 fever and him being a few days post op I scooped him up and went straight to the ER at 2am. By the time we got to the ER he was doing better with his breathing (yay cool fall air!) but was still burning up. The Motrin and steroids kicked in and he was like new again. He LOVED the breathing treatment much like the "water medicine" much like the asthma breathing treatments we do at home. He actually thanked the doctor and nurse for making him better! 4:30am we were back on our way home then I got to come home and sleep thanks to my awesome Mother in Law!
Today was an up day! We got passes for Edarville Rail Road for half price on line. We take the kids every year and every year we always say we wont go next year because for us it just has never been worth the money. But for half price I decided to go for it, we were going with my brother and his 2 girls as well. With life so busy I don't get to spend nearly enough time with them so I was excited to get a whole day in with them! We started today with a big breakfast at my mother's house complete with Mickey Mouse waffles then off to Edaville we went. We got there right when they opened, the kids ran for their first ride a fun house! The big kids stayed together and got right threw. From there they went on every single ride at-least twice, even Julia went on every ride she was tall enough for! We had lunch, took the train ride then did all the rides again! 5 hours later the adults were ready to go! The kids still had energy to go so they thought lol! On the ride home both kids fell asleep for the hour ride home.
It's days like today that make days like yesterday even sweeter! Yesterday was just awful. The kids fought all day, JJ still wasn't feeling well, neither kid took a nap. We did get to Harvest Fest at JJ's school which was really fun. JJ had fun showing JJ off to all his friends but over all an awful day! Today was everything I've always wanted Edaville to be, it was a true family day! It was nice and warm and the day was not rushed at all, we wondered around with no time constraints. Perfect perfect day!
