On the morning of our trip to Kansas, Collin woke up with a fever. I watched him very closely and gave him Motrin every 6 hours as needed. At about 9:30 in the evening, I gave him his medicine and was preparing to get some driving behind us, when he started vomiting and wheezing very badly. I was so scared. Heather and I along with everyone in Michigan and Kansas were looking for a hospital in desolate Iowa. We found one in Newton, Iowa. Everyone was great there. Collin only had a virus with a high fever and a croupy cough. They gave him a shot of penicillin and sent us on our way. On our way home, Nathan got a fever and was vomiting. He ended up going to the Doctor when he got home and he does have the croup. I guess the kids just aren't up to long road trips???

When we left the hospital at 1:30 in the morning, I forgot to turn on my headlights. Guess what? I got pulled over by the cops!!! They let me go after he realized I had just forgotten to turn them on. I was either going to stay the night in a hospital or a jail!!!!
