Hack, Hack, Cough, Wheeze....

I cannot even put the sound of snot into a single word..... Tis the sounds of illness at my place....
I fell into a cold the 2nd week of September and since that was MOM sale week I was not sitting still. I drugged myself up well and worked the sale, prepared for and handled first club meeting of the year then went to collapse. Only to find out the kids and Michael managed to get the cold. It seemed fairly normal. Lots of boogers, coughing, cough medicine... but it never wanted to go away. It has drug on and on. Last week Ben came home from school sporting a nice fever and miserable disposition. I kept him home for two days and ended up with a script for Amoxil. Dr figures he is fighting a sinus infection and we hoped that this would push it all through. Maddie and Andrew were with us but actually were presenting as though they were doing better.

WRONG

Sunday they both seemed yucky when we woke so we stayed home from church. By early evening the fevers were in full effect and misery was spreading. I managed to get snuck in between appointments on an already full Columbus Day Monday and found myself with two more orders for medication. I hope this works for all three.

SO between the snot, the medication, the tissues, the hand sanitizer, the coughing, the cough medication and the yelling to STOP coughing in each others faces... I am just praying neither Michael nor I get sick again...

Happy Fall Y'all!
