Wow, what a long day! Well, I guess it started with a long night. We pretty much didn’t sleep at all. Christian was tossing & turning all night, Ryan was talking in his sleep, Annika got up a couple times and with us all in the same room I don’t think any of us really slept very good.

Christian still had a fever in the morning, and I had a friend from church who is here also (and happens to be a nurse) look at his throat. She said we should take him to the dr. So we planned that for the afternoon.

In the morning, our friend took Ryan & Dane out for miniature golfing, and to the game room while Annika napped and Christian rested. Matt was teaching a couple classes. While Matt & the boys were at lunch Christian started throwing-up. Thankfully most of it made it into an ice-bucket and the clean-up wasn’t too bad.

After lunch our friend took Ryan & Dane swimming and Matt and I headed out with Christian (& Annika) to Urgent Care. When we arrived Annika was sleeping, so Matt took Christian in. It was the fastest Urgent Care I had ever been to! They were in and out in under 30 min.! He has Strep Throat – showed up right away on the rapid test. (He was also dehydrated) Then we were off to the pharmacy. (which took longer than the Dr. & we have to go back tomorrow because they didn’t have enough pills.) Then I ran into Safeway (the grocery store for those of you who don’t have those.) because I really had to go to the bathroom and Matt wanted some Gatorade.

We then drove back to the Y parked the car, were getting out, and Christian threw-up all over the car. (he had a bag, but didn’t get a chance to use it.) Lovely. Got that cleaned up, and got his first dose of medicine in him. He rested for awhile. He was very sad that his brothers were off having fun and he was stuck in the room.

Matt took the boys to dinner & got Annika & I dinner and brought it back to the room. Ryan and Dane continued to have fun with our friends. I then went to the evening session with Annika. Ryan, Dane & our friend’s granddaughter played in their hotel room across the hall, I took Annika with me, and Christian stayed with Matt. Christian continued to throw-up, but finally got to sleep. Once he was asleep he slept really well all night.

I got back around 8:30 and we got the rest of the kids to bed. We were all sleeping really well until 3:00 a.m. when Dane fell out of bed right onto his head! It was a loud bang – poor guy! He had a big goose-egg, but it is less today. That woke everyone up (except Christian). He’s used to sleeping on his little air-bed on the floor but since Christian is sick, I have him in the air-bed and Dane in the big bed… Annika had a hard time getting back to sleep. Our neighbors said they heard her crying, but it was okay.

Speaking of neighbors… There are 1800 people here – what are the chances… The friend from our church and her granddaughter are across the hall, friends from WA are in the room right next to us, and across the hall a bit further are friends from MN! It has been so fun to catch up with everyone!
