"When the cats away the mice will play." That is what I use to say Pre-Candor when Todd would leave town. This pretty much meant I would sit on the couch and watch all the reality tv I wanted without any judgement.
Post-Candor my saying is "When the cats away the mice get sick!".
Todd left to go to DC a couple of weekends ago to visit Travis and Molly. I had mine and Candor's time all planned out. Friday Cynda (Candor's sitter) was coming and Todd and I were heading to the opening of the Trail of Lights. Saturday morning Todd was heading out so Candor and I were going to just hang around and then Saturday night Candor was going to Parent's Night Out for 4 hours. Sunday we had church. Monday we were hiking with Kristin and then on Tuesday Candor was going to school!
On Friday morning Candor woke up and was breathing so loud. It was loud enough to really scare Todd and I. We went to the doctor and Candor had croup. Dr. D. prescribed Candor a steroid and said croup was highly contagious and he was to not be around any other kids for a couple of days. After coming home I had to cancel the sitter and Parent's Night Out.
Waiting on Dr. D.
On Monday afternoon Candor's eyes starting becoming red and had some leakage. By Tuesday morning they were completely matted shut. He had to miss school and back to the doctor we went. Candor now had double pink eye! He was prescribed some drops and sent on his way back home.
The waiting room was packed. Candor wanted to hang with the big boys and watch them play xbox.
By the time we picked up Todd that afternoon I started feeling bad. By Friday I was feeling so bad I went in to the doctor. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and prescribed some medicine.
We all somehow survived the weekend and on Monday Candor was still not feeling great so we went back to the doctor. This time he had a double ear infection and prescribed more meds!
Back in the waiting room.
What a disaster of the week. Next time Todd wants to go somewhere I'm telling him HECK NO! I can't take anymore sickness!
