Sickies

Cough Cough. Fingers in mouth. Cough cough. Nose picking.
Barf Barf. Fingers in mouth. Barf Barf. Drinking out of someone's cup.

It will NEVER end if this cycle keeps up.
Last week (including Saturday) I had all 4 kids to the doctor! Haley had her 3 year check up on Wednesday. I had to add Linds in to that appointment because she has developed asthma.
Then, Jared had something wrong with his tongue. The doctor thinks a virus...I think it's an allergic reaction. Because it went away and then started again yesterday.

Meanwhile, Haley had developed a cough (after her appointment of course). Ok, no biggie. Until she coughed on Nathan. It is a big deal for a 3 month old. Even a big, healthy one! So, off to the doctor we went on Saturday. Breathing treatments. Blessedly, no RSV (he tested negative-they thought he sounded like he had it).

Harold stayed home from work on Monday. Sick.

Tuesday, Jared threw up and has other stomach...symptoms. Still. (Yep, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday.) Partly because we keep feeding him "normal" food No more. From here on out it's the BRAT diet (Banana, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) until he's completely over all symptoms.

So far no one else has had the stomach symptoms...we shall see. We are exactly 2 weeks away from leaving for Missouri for our vacation (to see my grandparents whom we haven't seen for almost 2 1/2 years!). If anyone is sick, we obviously can't go! :(

I'm going to quarantine everyone in their OWN room. No more breathing on each other. The end.

Oh, dear. How...eventful. I hope everyone gets better quickly - for your sanity as well as for the sake of your trip. Sounds like you've managed to escape it somehow?

It is so hard when everyone is sick like that. I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon, so you can go on your vacation.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment.
