Valentines day and more sick days

Since my last post about paxton and his surgery we scheduled his surgery for feb. 26th. The nurse on the phone told me he couldn't get sick before his surgery, When i scheduled it, we had 3 weeks until his surgery, how in the hell was i supposed to keep him healthy in the midst of flu season? Well as you could imagine paisley became ill, and i tried my HARDEST to keep him healthy, i mean even making her wear a mask yes a 3 year old and a mask don't mix well. after a few days of her being sick, she looked really bad, like on her death bed bad. so off to the doctor she went and sure enough she had influenza, but it had already been 3 days so she couldn't have tamiflu, luckily her pediatrician new about our situation with pax and gave all 3 of us tamiflu. so we started taking it pronto. well she started feeling better this past weekend and we were all doing good so i thought we dodged a bullet, WRONGO pax started coughing a little on Monday and we just thought maybe a little dry throat, nope he is full blown sick today. you see you can take tamiflu two ways, the first way is if you have the flu you take 2 doses a day for 5 days, but you can take it once a day for 10 days to prevent the flu, since we weren't sick when we started taking it we have only been taking it once a day. i did find out today that if we think pax has it that we can bump his dose up to twice a day to see if it will shorten the illness. so im guessing because he is sick now, he must have already been sick before we started taking the tamiflu and thats why hes sick now. whatever. So what does this mean for his surgery next Tuesday, well the nurse said we need to take him to the doctor tomorrow and if she just says its a cold and he has no major infection or the flu and is feeling better by Monday we are still good to go, otherwise we will have to push it back a week or so. I'm so hoping to get the OK, i have been an absolute stress case and cant imagine waiting another week or more, I WANT TO GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY. and lets just say im going CRAZY being in the house for 2 weeks straight, literally i have not seen the outside in two weeks, i think i have even started talking to myself lol 

this adorable picture was me and pax on valentines day while daddy and paisley were at the doctors office, i didnt want him going to the doctors in fear he would get sick. who new he still would. so as you could imagine our Valentines SUCKED, i bought everybody cute little valentines outfits, just for us to sit around in and paisley to sleep in all day. oh the joys of parenthood, i sure hope it gets easier. and im about 2 seconds away from putting my entire family in a freakin bubble because all this sickness is going to be the death of me. i officially HATE winter, we are seriously talking about moving to st george i will let you know if it actually happens.
