Mama said there'd be days like this

We went to our neighborhood water park for Memorial Day

After a while of playing Macey curled up in her towel and laid there.

I finally took her home- she had come down with a fever.

That night she didn't have a fever.

At about midnight she came in 

Fainted

Then Threw up.

and was saying strange things and walking crooked.

We were up most of the night.

Thinking she had some sort of heat exhaustion I took her to the doctor the next morning to make sure everything was ok.

(Cody had also developed a fever the day before too, but it went away and he seemed fine. He stayed home from school to be 24 hours fever free and came to the doctor with us.)

The doctor said Macey should be just fine and he wasn't concerned about any of the symptoms I described because she seemed alert and just fine today and didn't have a fever.

He checked her lungs.

Then he checked Cody's

Then he checked Mackayla's

They all have walking pneumonia.

(It's the least serious kind.)

That night, after the fifth time Mackayla asked me to take her potty in the last 10 minutes,

I got out a UTI test to check her.

I was trying to coax her to pee on a stick

--I should mention that she insists on being alone while she goes to the bathroom so it was taking a while--

then Cody head butted Macey and got blood all over her blanket and made her tooth a little loose.

Mackayla's test showed up positive.

I called the doc to see if her antibiotics would do double duty on the pneumonia and UTI, all while the kids were screaming.

Luckily Ben was home by this time.

The doctor said it should be okay-the store tests are usually wrong anyway.

All in all, everything was minor

which is awesome and I am SO grateful.

That was a scary night.

The kids have been relatively good considering~

It's almost noon and I am still not dressed but we have made a couple crafts, some zucchini bread, mini bake stuff and an egg crate alligator...

Que PBS cartoons. :)
