Alright, so a quick update!! Skyler is doing great, aside from the FLU! Yea it found the Caughlin home!! He was diagnosed with a flu, not "the" flu, they can't really pin point Swine and/or Seasonal...but know that all his symptoms are exactly that, the flu. And the swine is going around the Valley these days. But that was Monday and it is now Wednesday. Monday we thought he was on the mend from a nasty cold, him and Seth actually. Low grade fevers all day and the nice deep hacky cough. By 5pm Skyler's temp spiked to 102.8! YIKES. So now hes on his 5 day treatment of Zithromax for green boogies (love that trach) and Tamiflu for flu like symptoms. It's not a cure all, but sure helps subside the nastys I think we caught it on day2 maybe 3 and they say if by day 3 you can get on Tamiflu you can help decrease severity. SO Monday the 19th here We come!!! Seth on the other hand I can't tell if he is comin or goin from this stuff! He was in the ER on Thursday night with croup. We have dealt with it before with him (hes mostly healthy boy, but usually can have the narrowing of bronchial crap...whats with my kids LUNGS!) but Thursday he woke me up from a dead sleep with that high pitched wheeze. I tried all the tricks and no luck so we trotted off to the ER. In and out mostly. First croup case of the year for the dr. Yea us.
Mike had a few classes over the past 2 weeks for PT decks. (another cert for work) so he's all refreshed on that. I still count pills by 5's. :P and nothing exciting going on there, which is good!
Oh, Mike and I both decided to better ourselves!! (it's possible, we can get better than this he he) I have started a 12 week boot camp at Mt Baker Crossfit. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gym!! I did it about 4 years ago and was so succssful in weight loss and strength training, I have always said...IF i ever got the chance to go to a gym again, i would fork the money out for Crossfit ONLY!! And I have been able to do that! Its a 3 night a week 1 hour long class where they literally make sweat drip from your eye balls!! :) So far on week 3, minus being sick and 1 day missed cause of sick kids I feel so much better already plus I have lost 4lbs!! Thanks to the awsome trainers and the ZONE diet (its not a diet its a way of eating now)
And Mike has started taking MUI THAI classes. Nuts huh? He likes it as well, but also has had to skip a class due to illness. Why did we start this in the middle of cold/flu season??
Thats enough for now. We are gearing up for the holidays, as they quickly approach! We were at Target a week or so ago, the counter to Christmas was 80 days or so...Holy Moly! The boys are super excited for Halloween I cannot WAIT to share pictures on here of them, they are so cute!!!!
All our love
The Caughlin's
