Sickie household

Oh boy! The germs just keep attacking our house! Before Christmas break we took both you kids to the express clinic to be checked out.

First, Eliana started running a fever over the weekend before our last week before break. Since dr. Nichols is never in on Mondays, we knew we would see the on call doc anyways, so we went ahead and took her in. At that time she was at 101.6 temp, bad cough, and runny nose. She didn't really get a diagnosis, but her lungs did sound a bit raspy, so we started breathing treatments. She was good after about a week. Since then the runny nose is back, but it's clear and not bad...just a nuisance. 

Easton, you started coughing that same week, so we took you to express care the Friday before we left town. They said they saw no reason to do an antibiotic and you should be fine. We had you checked out for ease of mind, and for your cousin Ellie's sake. We said okay...but wasn't so sure about it. Since then, your cough got worse, and we watched you closely! But now it seems to be getting better.

Daddy snuggling the sick kiddos

Breathing treatment, day one you sat down like this and took your treatment like a champ. Everyday after it was a struggle (and typically a bribe involved) :)

Watching Mickey Mouse...lots of snuggling going on...

Time to breathe.

I've been praying daily for the germs to leave and my kids to be healthy again! Now, your daddy is sick too. He went to express care on Thursday to be checked for strep. Luckily he doesn't have strep...he did get an antibiotic and after sleeping in today he seems to be a little better. But, I'm still praying for all three of you to get better, and praying that I stay healthy! 

Love you,

Mommy
