I mean't to keep a daily post while we were in Wisconsin visiting family. Alas my poor boys have kept me to busy to type anything. Cyprian came down with something the very day we flew into Chicago, which was Saturday the 19th. He steadily got worse, with a fever and barky cough. He started to have a hard time breathing. So, Monday I took him into the doctor. He got to see his pediatrician from when we lived here. The doctor was in a hurry and did the poorest job ever of checking Cyprian. He literally only looked in his ears and opened his mouth. Asked a few questions then decided he had a mild double ear infection and prescribed an antibiotic. The very thing I was worried about he did not even check or address, which was Cyprians difficulty breathing. The doctor never even listened to his lungs or heart. Seriously, it was a very poor doctor visit, if you can even call it that. Especially seeing as that night Clement woke me up with the same symptoms and because he is a baby and my parents live 45 minutes from a hospital, we ended up in the ER very early in the morning after speaking with a nurse. After being checked thoroughly physically and with x-rays they determined he had some viral infection and the start of pneumonia. So I am sure Cyprian had pneumonia too, and was not treated properly for it. Clement was put on a strong antibiotic. Cyprian has to continue his antibiotic for his ears and hopefully it also takes care of any infecton due to pneumonia. I have been giving the boys vitamins with extra vitamin C, echinachea drops with goldenseal, we had water bowls over the heater vents. I have a vaporizor with eucalyptus running during the night. Amazingly they both have been recovering quite well. Even with all the crazyiness and chaotic time spent with visiting a lot of family.
At the Korish farm we had a great Thanksgiving dinner. We ate lots of food and drank homemade apple cider. The cousins all ran wild and had to be pulled apart every once in awhile. The next evening we had an awesome bonfire, with a ton of food once again. It is no wonder that I probably have gained ten pounds...Even with all the crazyiness I know most everybody if not everybody cherishes the time with family.
We are now at the farm again after spending a nice weekend with Franz's family. Cyprian has been learning a lot from his young uncles. One instance that sticks out in my memory is, we were driving back from the boys cousin Tiana's baptism reception. Great Grand Godfather Klein was driving and teasing Cyprian. Well Cyprian got so exsaperated that he yelled at Grandpa, I immediately told him to apologize, he gave me a look that was similiar to one I have seen on uncle Toby's face (uncle Toby is four years old). I again told him to apologize and he looked at me and said, "Mom just relax, just relax." Wow, I was so shocked I snorted with laughter. His expression as he said that to me just cracked me up. He still had to apologize but it took a little while. Cyprian has been getting to wrestle and run and scream to his hearts content with the Klein boys. Now though Cyprian is starting to get real lonesome for Franz. He thinks Daddy has left us, I try and explain that we left Daddy and that Daddy is lonely for us and waiting for us to return home. He sort've understands, but wants to go home to Daddy, or have Daddy come here.
Clement is growing like a weed and has now had his first haircut. Too many people thought he was a cute girl with his red curls and jack'o'lantern smile with his two bottom teeth. He very much looks like a boy and with his shorter hair he also looks more like Franz. Clement is starting to act like and sound like an animal. It is quite entertaining to watch. In fact I have a barricade up so he cannot come by me and the computer cords and he is growling and hooting:') He has learned how to climb a step. Uh oh!! I think he is literally a pound or two heavier because I was nursing him as much as he wanted because of being sick. Problem now is that he wants to nurse every two hours during the night or more. Yikes! Tonight there may be a battle of the wills, tears and wanted sleep.
I have unfortunately only run three times. I am going to try and run everyday of this week before we fly back home to Texas. I had not even gone outside the first few days we were in Wisconsin except for to go to the car and back, because of taking care of sick children. The last couple days have been great getting out in the sunshine and getting fresh air.
Here is to all the little blessing that add up to be great blessings. Thank you God for my Family, both Korish's and Klein's! Sorry I am not really to concerned with how bad my grammer is in this post, I just wanted to put something down.
