Watch out for us, we have the plague. But really. We have been sick for over a week. It started last week with Lincoln, he had a fever and a cough. Then Adelia got a fever, but she also threw up a couple times. Then Ollie woke up one morning with croup. And Ruby got a fever and was really congested. Then Ivan had a fever, and spent an entire day puking every hour or so. Then I got the beginnings of a sinus infection. Lovely. Poor Aaron, he's missed a few days of work, and has been running around like a crazy person taking care of everyone.
We have seen every episode of Curious George ever made, because it's the only show Ollie will stay on the couch to watch. And to add insult to injury, the weather has been a beautiful 68 degrees, and all we can do is stare out the window and wish we could go enjoy it.
I did let Ollie go out for a bit on Sunday. He wanted to badly to sit in the garden and dig. So I let him. Footie jammies and all.
We ended up taking Ivan to the doctor for an ear infection, so he's on antibiotics, and hopefully on the road to recovery. We took Rue in to the doctor as well, they said she didn't have a bacterial infection, and recommended we take her up to the hospital for a mucus treatment, which we did. That seemed to help, so hopefully she'll be feeling well in a few days. And Adelia's lip is back down to normal size, so hopefully some of that drama will settle down as well.
Whew. I am sick of sick. And I'm afraid whatever I have is getting worse, because I'm averaging about 3 hours of sleep per night.
