Nick has had a terrible cold, possible something more and missed 2 1/4 days of work. He has been on Tylenol, Benedryl, DayQuil, NyQuil, and Vapor Rub around the clock since Monday. If you know Nick at all - he is not easily medicated; therefore, he is feeling rough!
Carter came down with croup on Monday evening. Yuck. He just coughs and coughs sounding like a seal.
Funny story: Tuesday while he was sleeping (11:00pm), as I was on the computer doing some office work, I heard him start to cough uncontrollably and then start crying hysterically. I ran to rescue him, only to find out that he wasn't crying at all! He was LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY! Yep, that's right. My little 4 year old was having a funny dream!! Now, I know, I know....Nick is sick and needs his rest, but I just HAD to wake him up to witness this! (Once he stumbled into the boys' room and heard for himself, he didn't mind a bit! He even stood and listened with me for 10 minutes!) You may be wondering...."Did he tell you what he was dreaming about?" Yeah...well.....sort of....He told us "the papers were all dancing around..." Hmmmm.....Remember - we're dealing with a 4 year old...He must be easily amused in his sleep!
This morning, Mason started to match his big brother's pitch (ya know, the high pitched seal sound....) Hmpfff....I know we'll survive this but it sure is painful to watch my little boys struggle to cough up the sickness. If only he would have had a good dream....Nope....He informed me that his dream was about the bumble bees. OUCH!
On a super-de-duper positive note,
I am feeling better now than I have the last 2-3 months!
I have been so tired (I know - pregnancy will do that - but it was more than that. I could only stay awake functionally for about 8 hours a day...)!
Partially for normal procedures and partially to see what my body is suffering from, I had some blood work done last week. In addition, I made the decision to make one other change that I thought could be causing my fatigue. Well - it must have done the trick, because my blood test results came back today and all is good! Praise God!
Sorry this was all an earfull (or eyefull) with no pictures!! I guess I needed to vent! I'm impressed if you are still reading! THANKS!

YUCK! We've had a really rough week too! I can relate!
HILARIOUS about Carter! I laughed out loud on the dream part!!
I understand the rough week!! We were up all night Monday night with Reid. He was having a hard time breathing. I took him in on Tues morning and he has RSV and an ear infection...YUCK!!! I'm so thankful that he seems to be doing better. We'll just be glad if Madison doesn't get it too!!

I read to the end!! Sorry you are having such a rough week. I remember the seal bark well. If you ever need a breathing machine I still have ours but it is 17 years old. Still works, at least I think it does :)
Hope everyone starts feeling better!
