Welp, looks like it's our turn!
It's that lovely time of year when the germs start to spread...gotta love winter!
NOT.
Kensie and Mason are down for the count with the following symptoms:
Fevers.
Coughing.
Tight chests.
Watering eyes.
Waking up in the middle of the night (from coughing so hard).
No appetite.
Wanting to be held ALL day long.

Their fevers finally dropped this morning, and they both ate a good breakfast. I think they are on the upswing (slowly) but I was pretty darn close to taking them to the doc's today! (I spoke with a nurse over the phone who assured me they probably have a mild version of influenza but based on their symptoms and the fact that they've both had a flu shot, they'd probably recover fine on their own. BUT, if they got worse to make sure to bring them in! Yes ma'am.).
But in hopes of trying to be positive around here...
{1} I'm SO thankful our kids are not in school yet. It seems like the yuckiest of all germs get spread like wildfire in that setting and there's no telling what they'll come home infected with!
{2} Greg and I have not "caught" anything yet so I can spend all my energy comforting our poor sick kiddos.
{3} I'm reminded of the blessing it is to be a stay at home mom in this type of situation. I don't have to worry about taking time off, or finding alternative child-care. I love being home, despite the hard work.
{4} No puke or diarrhea. Praise the Lord above!

It feels like we're on a "two-weeks-healthy-followed-by-one-week-sick" cycle.
*sigh*
Is it summer yet???
