1st Day Summer Schedule

Yesterday was the first day of our summer schedule, with all 3 kids at home on Tuesday/Thursdays.  My plan for the days with all 3 is to go to the pool in the morning to wear them out for quiet time and maybe the library or park in the afternoons. 

Yesterday, with Matthew not even being 24 hours into his recovery, my plans were shot.  Matthew can't be submerged in water for another week, so no pool.  And most importantly yesterday, he was in considerable pain.  He could barely take a breath without moaning/whining...and that was with Tylenol.  Midday I went to fill his baby vicodine. After one dose, he was MUCH better.  He didn't need pain meds for 16 hours after that one dose.   Additionally, after the throat scope, his throat was irritated and his breathing was a bit wheezy yesterday, but thankfully is quiet today. 

To add to the craziness yesterday, Alyssa woke up with a fever and began throwing up.  So, with Matthew recovering and Alyssa sick, we stayed home and had a movie day.  Thankfully by about 4pm, Alyssa fully recovered and Matthew was showing signs of being his old self.  Though it was a rough start to our summer schedule, it was fantastic to be at home to deal with it all, instead of the hospital! 

The kids were all well enough to play together in
the late afternoon. They worked together to help
Matthew get the coins in the pig. Very sweet!
