Sick Sick Sick


It has been, by far, the mildest MN winter I can ever remember.  Temperatures have been in the high 40's lately, no snow & it is January 7!  Unfortunately, my kids have been sick so much this year.  I feel like we get a week where we're all healthy & then the next flu, cold, etc. hits.


Rachael was first diagnosed in the ER with croup, having trouble breathing & a seal bark cough.  The other night, Daniel woke up sounding very bad as he tried to breathe.  My dad decided that he would take us to the ER to get Daniel help breathing & I would be able to be in the back of the car with him.  We got there & he had a fever & also croup.  He had a shot of steroids & another medicine & was sent home with instructions to nebulize just like Rachael.  So now, I get to fight TWO kids with the nebulizer, which gives them steroids.  These steroids make them VERY aggressive & angry, which is loads of fun to deal with.


Rachael, not so happy about nebulizing, look at those eyes! 
Daniel really not happy, sticking his tongue out at the camera!
Yesterday, I woke up with a bad cold & cough, which is what croup looks like in Adults.  Not a fun winter but LOVING this weather!!!
