Can I just say that I hate being sick. I hate my kids being sick! And I'm really ready to be healthy?
So Monday I took Max to the doctor. Well, I made Max an appointment, but the weather was so bad that Ruth and Todd had to meet me there, and we were all still late. (But so was the dr. so no worries there....It took an hour to get from the Mall in Ogden, to the hospital in Layton....) Max had been coughing, had a fever, a runny nose like you wouldn't believe, and was not being a nice little boy to say the least. Round three of ear infections for the boy child (since Thanksgiving....) and croup. I had him look at red dots on his tummy and they were not too worried, but I said Grace's were even worse. So we lifted up her shirt and the grand ole dr. said she needed an antibiotics, but since she wasn't checked in there was nothing he could do. Don't we just love medical people?
So - I went back out, checked Grace in (paid another co-pay). To be fair, they didn't make us wait too long and there were other people complaining that they had been there over an hour. So when I took Grace back the doctor actually took a few minutes and said a bunch of stuff - and then he said she could have chicken pox, she could have mersa, she could have a viral infection or it might not be any of those things. Well, all I know is that Grace had red bump like things on her shoulders, that spread to her lower back, her arm pits and her tummy. The girl child will not take her medicine, even if it's hidden in some thing else, and the dot's (even the infected ones have started to go away.) So she's had them for about a week - and I really don't know what they actually are.
Que Tuesday - sick and ornery, Max's cough gets worse
Wednesday - sick, a little happier for Max - Grace now has the perma drip runny nose.
Usher in Thursday - Max still has a cough, it's a bit better, Grace will not take her medicine - I can't bribe her, I can't force her, I can't trick her - I just don't know what to do!
Friday - Grace wakes at 3:11 am, and does not go back to sleep. Max sleeps through the night for the first night in weeks, and I'm sitting with Grace for 2 1/2 hours in the middle of the night - and did I mention she is grumpy as all get out? And, now my voice is limited - to say the least, my chest and my throat are tight. I don't feel too bad, but I can tell it's coming!
I just want us all to be well - is that too much to ask?

I am so sorry dear! There trully is nothing worse than sick kiddos! It WILL get better I promise. And then they will start school. It's great!
Hang in there, this too shall pass! It's just your turn. I've been there before and wish I could offer good advice but, I just had to tough it out! Vitamin C and Zinc really are proven to help our immune systems so, suck on a yummy losenge and try to sneek in a power nap where you can! Hope this passes quickly!
Sick kids are the worst. I hope you are all well soon.
How are you all feeling? I hope better. As far as what we will be doing when we are there. We are planning on coming Saturday, if everyone can get Sat off and we have a confirmed place to stay. We have no set plans, Shopping and relaxing...NO WORK!!! I would like to see you if possible. What are your plans during that time? It will be Saturday Jan 24th(hopefully, other wise Monday) to Wednesday Jan 28th. Let me know.
That's not good! Hope you feel better, of course you know your kids got my kids sick!
