How yucky is it to be sick in the midst of summer.
Liv has the croup. Last Sunday she started in with blood shot eyes, fever, and a sore throat. Then a few days later she had a barking cough and felt like she couldn't get enough air. Wednesday we saw Dr. C who said "croup" and started her on steroids and respiratory treatments. Yesterday she seemed much improved and the fever was gone. Last night she woke up again coughing , and a fever and she has proceeded to sleep on the couch all day today...
Ethan is trying to decide if he is sick. He had a fever and a sore throat this morning, but after some advil he has played as usual all day.
So pretty much it will go like this.. Liv will get better over the weekend and then Ethan will be sick all next week so I can miss 2 full weeks of a good night sleep and have to wash every blanket and sheet in the whole house, again....
The joys of motherhood..
My cousin Amelia is down and staying with my mom. They are playing at the beach today.
Well that pretty much sums up our week. I am still schooling Maddy and we are on track, and this weekend I think we are hunkering down and watching the next 3 Dr. Quinn discs.

If it's any consolation, I've had two different kids sick over the past two weeks. I'm a pro at the croup-that's what TJ gets EVERY time he gets a cough. Something about his airway...I have enough albuterol to treat a horse and some excellent (but yucky tasting) cough medicine. I'm totally missing you :-). Your kids will get well just in time for me to leave town...oh, and I need shots too.
Hope you all feel better soon and that this illness stops dead in its tracks. i hate colds in the winter.
