More Sickness

Yesterday (Thursday) Brienna called me from school a little after 9 am.

Her throat hurt & she didn't feel good.

And she has been sick since.

Zane's throat starting hurting Thursday afternoon/evening.

And so now we have more sickness--Brienna & Zane are both down.  Brienna is probably a little "worse" than Zane, but it just isn't fun to have so many sick ones!!!

We are still doing breathing treatments for Callum & Ben.  But Benjamin fights the nebulizer & so I have resorted to getting a good treatment in only at night when he is nursing & half asleep.  When I try one during the day, he will breathe in once, & then the fight is on.

And talking about fights----I hate giving medicine to toddlers!!!  It takes 2 of us to give Benjamin his antibiotic.  While someone holds his hands & feet, I have to plug his nose to get him to swallow & not spit it out.  I can't wait for the medicine to be done!

I can't wait until the weather is warmer (& the ground is less slushy & muddy) so the kids can play outside more & get fresh air!!!  SPRING, where are you????

Sick kids is the worst! Especially when you have a toddler! Who knew they can be so strong?

I hope your family feels better soon. You deserve a vacation!

Sorry your having more illness at your house. We have had a rough year with all kinds of flu bugs here. Like you, we are eager for the fresh feel of the spring air. We just got a foot of snow yesterday.

I'm sorry! Sick kids are so heartbreaking. We're doing breathing treatments etc. around these parts right now too. 2 of my 3 are sick and the only reason the other one isn't is because she had it last week. Sigh.

We just barely made it through a cough and cold with StarWars...now I have a kidney stone. Hope your house is cleaner than mine:)
