Graduation, the flu, new teeth...

Wow, where do I start. I guess I should start by apologizing for it being so long since I last posted. Things have been pretty crazy around here the last week. Last Wednesday I took Austin to the doctor because he just couldnt seem to kick what I thought was a cold, but he ended up with an antibiotic for sinus infection. Thursday we had his follow up appointment with the surgeon. He took the sterry strips off and his eye looks so good. There is just a little line where the incision was but other then that you can hardly tell he had anything done. After his appointment Thursday I went to drop him off at our sitters house so I could go study, only to find one of the little girls had just puked. So needless to say I decided not to leave Austin there and just skip the studying that day. After all with graduation the last thing we needed was to get the flu. Despite my efforts about 3 o'clock that afternoon Austin started puking. It was so sad to see him so miserable. He basically just layed there and cried for about 48 hours straight. I had mandatory school stuff pretty much all day Friday, so unfortunately Matt got most of the brunt of having to deal with a miserable sick kid, but he did great:):) Friday night I had my hooding ceremony, which Matt and Austin unfortunately did not get to attend, but a lot of my other family members were nice enough to come down for. Saturday Austin finally broke his fever and only got sick one time. Then the diarrhea started. And it kept coming, and coming, and coming. I am talking like 6 outfit changes on Sunday. Man, am I sick of doing laundry between the vomit and diarrhea I feel like that is all I did for 4 days!!! On top of the flu he had one tooth pop through on Saturday with another one really close to breaking through on the bottom, and possible two more on the top, poor thing!! So, as you can see we have had quite a busy week!! Things are starting to settle back down around here, no more vomiting or diarrhea, but he is still having some pain with his teeth, which is causing some middle of the night awakenings which I am not too fond of and hopefully end soon!!!
