Easter 2009

We had a weekend of fun planned for Easter weekend. Good Friday we headed up to the Grand Hinckley Inn. Saturday we went to my sister, Melissa's. The boys played on the 4 wheelers. Gavin and Jace had a great time playing with their cousins. Then we went swimming at the hotel. They were having fun but seemed a little out of sorts. All three boys had developed an icky cough. That evening Gavin started running a fever with shakes. So I brought him into ER. Of course since we were way up in Hinckley, the closest ER was Mora. So after 3 hours of being there, we found out that Gavin had pneumonia. After getting back to the hotel and just trying to settle into bed, Jace woke up screaming. Our first thought was ear infection, gave him some Motrin and then he finally fell asleep. After that was Kai's cough attack. Needless to say...I did not get any sleep that night. Easter morning, Kai started vomiting at the hotel. So we decided to skip Easter at my sister Tina's and just head back home to take Jace and Kai into ER. On the way home, Jace's ear started to drain. He definitely had an ear infection. We got home early afternoon and headed to ER in Mankato. We confirmed Jace's ear infection and they found nothing wrong with Kai (upper respiratory infection basically). They did a chest x-ray and a RSV test on him and those came back fine. So that is how we spent our Easter.
