Sick – Sick – Sick

I started feeling a little under the weather this weekend and it has finally morphed into a full-blown illness/upper respiratory infection. I’ve been coughing and sneezing like crazy. Monday after I picked Syd up I noticed that she wasn’t feeling that great either. I took her temperature and sure enough, 101.3F. She spent the rest of the day lying on the couch or at least trying to. Mason and Macky didn’t really like the fact that she was relaxing. They kept trying to lay with her/crawl on her, which really annoyed her. (poor Syd) I also noticed that Macky had a runny nose, but wasn’t running a fever. Thank goodness! I gave everyone medicine, myself included and went to bed hoping that today would hold wellness for all. I wish. Macky coughed all night and Syd woke up at 4am because she couldn’t breathe. The fever was back. After everyone was up and medicated again we were all able to go back to sleep about 6am. I really hope that we all start feeling well soon. There is nothing worse than sick kids. I just hate seeing them not feel well and knowing that there really isn’t anything I can do. I’m lucky that my kids don’t get sick very often. So, hopefully this will pass quickly and we will be back in our normal routine by the end of the week. I’ve dealt with more than enough snot this week and its only Tuesday. I think it’s going to be a long week!
