Fever :(

Poor guy has a fever. It's not enough that he has stitches and now a fever and of course it has to happen the weekend that I'm going to be away. I feel horrible leaving him this weekend even it Miah is home. He's hardly been sick and when he was I have always been here to take care of him. I'm being over cautious and typing up his whole medical history just in case Miah has to take him to the ER this weekend since he probably won't be able to answer most of the questions because they are only ingrained in my memory. I know Miah will be great when he's here with Rex but it doesn't mean that Mommy doesn't feel guilty about leaving her little boy when he's sick.

So Rex won't take Mortin or any type of medicine to help with his fever either. So I headed out to Vitamin Cottage once again for help in this area and here is my review of their product.

Homeopathic Review

Ultima Kids! Replenisher, in other words Pedi-light powder. So I mixed it they way it said and he wouldn't drink it. I'm not sure if it is because he doesn't like it because he won't eat or drink any thing else. I will try it again when I need it and see if it helps.

Belladonna: to be used for high fever of sudden onset with perspiration. These are little balls that come in a not so user friendly container. Children and adults can take 5 to help reduce fever. Once I gave them to Rex his fever dropped faster than any time I have been able to make him take Mortin. It didn't make it go away but that's because he is still sick but it did help reduce it.

Hyland's Flu: to be used for fevers, chills, body aches that are caused by colds and flus. Rex took these with the belladonna to help with other discomfort he was feeling from being sick. Miah said that he could tell the difference when he gave this to Rex. He said Rex was more active than he was before and didn't seem as whiny.

The Belladonna and the Hyland's Flu worked great and there was no fighting to get him to take it! That was a major plus. It's not fun when your child is sick but then to force them to take something they don't like while they are screaming and they choke because of it makes it even worse. Gotta say I will use homeopathic things any day over medicine just because it's healthier for us but also because it requires less effort to get Rex to take it.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
