We awoke on Halloween morning, and Gage had been fever free for nearly 36 hours! The plan was to take Drake to the H1N1 shot clinic, enjoy the rest of the day, and then go trick-or-treating. Except that Drake woke up to a barky cough! I called the Dr. and they said that he should not get the shot if he has a cold or is sick. Well, we haven't been out of this house literally for nearly 5 days other than to take Gage to the Dr. so my guess was that he was getting what Gage had or he picked something up at the Dr.'s office. Neither of which could be good. So no shot for Drake. I kept an eye on him the rest of the day, and he never came down with a fever. The cough was still there a bit but not bad, so we decided we would still go trick-or-treating. The boys deserved it! They have been cooped up for so long that they were just itching to get out of the house. Besides, they had some pretty cool Ninja costumes that they were dying to wear!! This year we decided to meet up with my sister and her boys in Wilton. We tooled around the town for the full 2 hours! Drake gave up on us about half way through, but luckily we had taken along the wagon and he got to just ride the rest of the way. The kids got so much candy even after Drake stopped collecting half way through! Gage was a real trooper! Never complained once, and felt like a million bucks! I do believe he is finally completely over his bug! Now if Drake's could just turn out to be a simple cold and nothing else! I'm not holding my breath! And Steve is staying home this time!! :)
