We have had the on and off cold symptons most of this winter.
I don't think I even know Kyson without a cough.
Last Friday, Kauri came home from her soccer practice feeling sick and throwing up later.
Monday and Tuesday, Kauri had no school for the Parent Teacher conferences.
Tuesday, Kamarie woke me up at 6 am throwing up. Every 30 minutes for the next 7 hours.
Wednesday, Kauri was all dressed for school with her coat on ready to leave when she told me she was "freezing." Checked her temp and it was 102. she was devastated to have to miss school 3 days in a row.
She spent the day on the couch watching Bubble Guppies with Kamarie.
Thursday, Kauri's temp. was 103, so she stayed home again. She spent the day with a bucket next to her for her off and on spurts of throwing up.
Friday morning I heard her throwing up at 5 AM, so I checked her temp and it was 105.5. Gave her some ibuprofin and let her watch tv. She didn't even complain. Fri. night, Hubby told me that she had a sore throat and maybe we should check her for strep. I knew it couldn't be strep if she hadn't complained about a sore throat all day every day, but I got a flashlight and checked her throat. Holy Cow! I had never seen anything like it before. Her tonsils were the size of quarters and they were covered with white patches of cottage cheese looking stuff. The nurse told me it was a virus and not to bring her in.
Friday night, Kort started throwing up.
Saturday morning, Kinzie felt like throwing up, but played her soccer game anyway.
Kamarie's eyes started gooping up, also, and we immediately started treating her for pink eye.
She only gooped up a couple more times, so we think we got it under control.
When we got home, Koby felt sick, too. He started throwing up later that day.
Last night we took Kauri and Kamarie to the Dr. and got prescriptions
for Kamarie's pink eye and for her ear infection?
Yeah, we never would have known about her ear infection if it weren't for Kauri's swollen lips.
Kauri's swollen lips and 104 fever helped us decide to take them both in.
First, Dr. Karl ran a strep test on her that came back negative.
Dr. Karl listend to Kauri's symptoms: very high fever for lots of days, swollen and cracking lips, swollen tonsils, pink tinted around her eyes and then he said, "Let me see your hands."
When he said that, I said, "You are not checking to see if her fingers are peeling are you?"
He said that he was.
Dr. Karl is the one who diagnosed Kashton with Kawasaki Disease 11 years ago.
A few differences are that Kauris fever actually goes down with ibuprofin.
And her mouth hasn't been sore, sore, sore, and has not been complaining about her whole body hurting.
Dr. Karl said he wasn't going to rule it out, but does not think it is Kawasaki.
So, three or four different viruses at our house right now.

Yikes. That does not seem fun at all.
