Sickness 2017

After Christmas we all got sick, and Kate and Alex got sick times 2!!!!  Gram and PawPaw had given Mike tickets for Christmas for us to go see the Harlem Gloetrotters on December 28.  Mike was up throwing up the night before I think and then Alex threw up on the way home from the game.  Then the next morning Kate throw up!  And Will was in my lap all day due to not feeling well either!

Ready to watch the game!

All 3 kiddos sick!!

 The kids were down with the throwing up bug about a day and a half each and then I was up all night the night before New Years Eve with Will.  I took him to the doctor to find out he had another ear and sinus infection,  Poor baby.  We had a great New Years Eve at Kristin's and left kids at home with the babysitter.

Then Monday morning I woke up early with chills and fever.  The kids had off school, so Mike had them that day.  Monday afternoon, one kid had fever and then Tuesday morning the other had fever, so no school for the kiddos.  I somehow drove myself to the doctor to get some Tamiflu for the flu I had.  Tuesday night both kiddos had a fever, so no school on Wednesday.  They were both fever free on Wednesday, but had coughs and congestion,  Both kids back to school Thursday and I still felt awful!!!  I almost felt back to normal by Friday.  Rested all weekend.

Sunday night Alex woke up in pain due to his ear and I was up with him for a few hours.  Took him to the doctor and he had double ear infections and one had burst.  Poor baby, no wonder he was in so much pain.  He was saying "Mommy my brain is coming out of my ear, just like in Egypt."

All week I was in bed by 6pm.  I had a yucky cough and still not much energy.  But Will finished his antibiotic just as Alex started his and we all seemed to be on the mend by the end of the week!
