So this weekend my grandpa turned 90. He had a big party with all of his friends and most of our family was able to attend. It actually turned out very well and it was fun to see so many of my cousins with their families… it’s such a shock to see them with kids and wives lol!
So to prepare for this party, my mom and I made three posters of pictures of my grandpa, grandma, and family. This was no small feat and my mom and I spent many hours on these things. It was the Friday before the party and we had two posters to finish up, so Michael and I went down for dinner. After dinner Michael and Grandpa Staley went upstairs and watched a movie that Michael was so excited to watch… Cheaper by the Dozen ( he loves this movie and the CbtD2 ). They finished this and then they put in the Cheaper by the Dozen 2. About 10:30 pm Michael comes down to tell me he is tired and feels weird. I feel his forehead and he’s getting a fever… so we wrap things up and then get ready to come home. By the time we are there he is feeling really sick and he is blaming Grandpa Staley for making him stay up to watch the movie, because he is convinced that he must be sick because he is so tired lol.
The next morning rolls around and not only is it the day of Grandpa Valet’s party, it’s also basketball day for Michael and Audrey, and while Michael seems to still have a mild fever, he is adament that he feels fine and wants to go to basketball and the party. We give him a little tylenol and see if he perks up… he does and so we go ahead and go to the game. Later we leave for the party and he still feels fine. During the party he runs around a little, but spends most of the time watching a movie with the other little cousins there and by the dinner portion of the party he is feeling sick again.
Sunday morning… now very sick lol…
Monday morning… still has a fever, we take him to the dr. and it’s STREP! YAY… he’s doing better, but he still has to stay home 24 hours after his first dose of antibiotics. I think both he and I are ready for him to head back to school tomorrow!
at least he can get some meds for strep - that is NO fun! i hope he feels better quickly!! (and thanks for updating, kate! you ROCK!)
I feel like I haven’t checked your blog in forever! Was posting this what you were doing to procrastinate your paper due Thursday? lol Best be gettin’ everything done now because I expect MAJOR attention this weekend! I’m having Kate withdrawl I think. Save me.
