When it rains it pours.

E is now sick - throwing up & you-know what.  The doctor can't figure out what is wrong with Hunter - even after more testing and a chest x-ray.  All negative.  So he might cough up a lung at some point tonight.

WOOOOO HOOOO!  Two kids home sick tomorrow.  Talk about total fun and excitement.

At least we've stayed out of the ER for a while.  Although last night was close.

Something Viral

This is what the doctor told me was wrong with Hunter. 

Excuse me Doctor...  What is that suppose to mean?

I mean he's got this fever, he is coughing, has  more snot than anyone has a right to have, doesn't sleep well because of the coughing and won't eat.  You couldn't come up with something better than Something Viral.

HA! HA! My husband has the kids today!

I'm laughing because now Hunter has "The Croup" again. And so Mason has to dispense medicine and keep him from running around.

Also Mr. Big Shot Ethan had a sleep over last night and apparently was up until 2 AM. Daddy has to deal with a tired kid too.

HA! HA!

Of course I am at work - but work is better than dealing with that. At least today.

Sick House!

Hunter has picked up a nasty little stomach virus.  EEEWWW!!  24 hours of Throw-up Duty.

I am so loving life. 

Silent but Deadly

Poor little Hunter has Croup. Last night at 2:24 (yes, I looked at the clock) we set up for another steamy shower because his cough got so heavy and congested I was worried he wasn't breathing well. After a good 15 minute steam, I got him redressed in his pajamas and cuddled up next to him in my bed. We talked of huggie pillows & he rolled over and looked at me with a giant smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye and said:

"Don't tell Dad."

"OK." from me thinking Daddy didn't need to know about Huggie Pillows.

"I'm going to fart on his side of the bed."

I laughed at loud. Mason will probably never sleep in the bed again.

Exciting Nights!

I am in Sinus Infection HE double toothpicks! Both boys have sinus infections, they are coughing like there is a foreign body that needs to come out and now Ethan has a headache and is actually laying in bed.

Last night was crazy and at 12:30 we decided to move Mr. Hunter into bed with me and Mason slept in his bed in the same room as Ethan. At 1:00 Hunter got some more decongestant. From 1:00 to 1:30 Hunter & I were watching the Pink Panther on Cartoon Network & at 1:30 Hunter took a hot steamy shower. By 2:00 he was breathing out of his nose and sleeping like a rock. Ethan on the other hand did really good from 11:00 to about 5:30 when he started coughing like a cat hocking up a fur ball.

Both boys took hot showers and compared the color of the snot they coughed up (oh joy!) and Hunter is way farther ahead of Ethan on the getting better scale, however Ethan has been suffering longer so he probably has more to get over.

Happy Thanksgiving to us!!
