Wow - I have had a crazy week! I should be cleaning and doing other things but I need to vent. The blog is a great way to get it off my chest.
STAPH -Sunday night Andrew told me his leg was hurting. He had a little "owie" a few weeks ago that I thought went away but now it looked infection (big time!). So the next day I took him to the dr. The Dr. tells me has a Staph infection! Gasp, Are you serious? All I have heard lately is how deadly staph infections have been with kids. He said we caught it before it got bad. We marked the redness with a pen to make sure it didn't spread. He needed to be on 2 antibiotics to fight it. He has to take 7 TEASPOONS of medicine twice a day. Do you know how hard it is to get a 7 year old to take that much medicine. But it beats him in the hospital! As of this morning, it looks like it is healing up good!
POLICE - Wednesday night I am driving to the post office with my boys. We are in a rental car this week because our van has to be completely re-painted (that is a whole other story). I hear a big bang on Ezra's door as we driving. So i pull over and check the car out. Sure enought there is a little dent in the door. SOMEONE THREW SOMETHING AT US!! So I drove back by to see if I could see anything and THEY DID IT AGAIN. We didn't see anyone. The 2nd bang was very loud and the kids were scared. At this point, I call the police. I actually saw the police car drive by to check it out. He calls me back about 30 minutes later and tells me THEY ACTUALLY CAUGHT THEM!!! Wow - we are so happy to hear that!! But now I got to deal with the door dent!
THROW UP - Aren't these fascinating topics? If you made it this far, hopefully you see why I have been a little absent from our message board and email. Last night at 12:15am, Ezra threw up EVERYWHERE! In my 8 years of being a mom, I don't think my boys have ever got that sick! Now he is feeling a little better (he's sleeping so I can actually type). He has not thrown up again and I don't think he will but he does have the dreaded diarrhea. Poor kid.
So that in a nutshell is my eventful week. I feel better now that I told my friends! Now I can clean!

Ian had a staph infection in his thumb last year so I totally understand how fun it is to get a 7year old to take that much medicine. He grumbled and complained everytime it was time to take it.
Oh my goodness Erica!! What a crazy week!! I hope you get to relax a little this weekend! You were brave to drive back after getting hit by something! I would have been too scared...you hear some crazy stuff now-a-days!! I'm glad they caught them though!
Wow, what a week! Hope Ezra gets to feeling better and that your weekend looks brighter!
I hope that everyone starts feeling better soon and that no one else gets sick.
Also, I can't believe they caught them too! That is amazing! Are they going to pay the rental company for the repairs?
CRAAAZZZY!!! Staph infection?! Glad he's getting better! What were they throwing at your car???That's scary! Also I thought you already got the van repainted!!! Hope Ezra gets better soon. Maybe you can scrap and relieve some stress! Love you!
My goodness can it get any crazier?
