J.R. has been out of school all week long with strep throat and a sinus infection, and then Justo Man came down with it Thursday. Michael took him to the ped on Friday and yep, him too! They are both on antibiotics and Tylenol. J.R. weighed in at 194 and Justo Man weighed in at 90 pounds.
I had a breakdown talking to the pharmacist on Friday over a bottle of adult Tylenol and if my almost 12 yr old (his birthday is Tuesday) should be taking the big boy stuff. She said yes, and I wasn’t ready to discard the chewable ones just yet. My hands were shaking and I fumbled the change she handed me dropping it on the ground. All along fighting back the tears and not wanting to accept them getting older. I had a good cry in my bathroom late at night when everyone was sound asleep. Where has the time gone?
I’ve been anti bacterialing (my new word) the house and scrubbing all the bathrooms down to a sparkling shine. Lysoling (another new word) the door knobs and light switches. I woke up with a little scratchy throat, but I am determined not to get sick! LOL!
Oh that’s too funny Julie - not about the kids being sick but about the childrens Tylenol. I remember taking Tyler to the Dr. for something when he was about 11. He asked what I was giving him and I said children’s Tylenol. Dr. says is there any reason you aren’t giving him adult he’s a big boy (he was about Justin’s size). I say - yeah - he doesn’t seem that big to me and the bottle says age 12 and under. Denial I guess lol.
((Julie and Boyz)) Hope they are feeling better soon. It is hard when they grow up. Although I was so happy to have the girls switch to regular motrin. That chewable stuff costs a fortune. LOL
My oldest had strep last weekend/first part of week. Still on amoxycillin. Hope your boyz are feeling better by now!
