SICKNESS...

It all began one week ago today.....Ory started running a low grade fever and had a sore throat last Saturday evening. By Sunday morning he was up to 103 fever, sore throat, and headache...by Monday morning all the above plus body aches...took him to the doctor Monday morning and Dr. Peyton thought it was strep throat, did a strep test and came back negative, next idea...the FLU...and that was positive BUT we are out of the 24-36 hr window so Dr. Peyton said medication would not help at this point and to ride it out with motrin! NO FUN!! By Tuesday night I started coughing and running fever...here we go...and by Wednesday morning I was MISERABLE. Went to the doctor that afternoon and they did the Flu swab AND of course, it was positive AND bronchitis had already set in...BUT we had caught mine in time and they gave me Tamiflu and Levaquin for the bronchitis...praise Jesus!! By this time, Ory is starting to get better but still running a low grade fever....NOW, Thursday morning Addy wakes up with FEVER! Go figure....so I schedule her a doctors appointment and her WONDERFUL Daddy takes her in....they do the Flu swab on her and tell Dan it will take 5-10 minutes but within a couple of minutes they are back in the room and say "It was a quick positive...she has the Flu as well" So they are able to give her the Tamiflu also...AND gave Dan a Rx for it to as a prophylactic!! Yay, praise Jesus!!! So, by now, Ory's fever finally breaks on Thursday and Addy and I are sick, sick, sick!!! But I have the most wonderful husband who stayed home from work on Tuesday with Ory and then was already off Wed-Fri and took care of ALL of us!!! He is such a SUPER Mr. Mom!!! :)
As of today, Addy and I DO NOT have fever..just coughing and snotty noses and Ory is COMPLETELY back to normal (except for a little cough)....I believe we are FINALLY on the ROAD TO RECOVERY!!!!! As long as Daddy stays healthy!!!

So, today's mission: SANITIZE, SANITIZE, SANITIZE...DISINFECT, DISINFECT, DISINFECT!!!!!!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER!!!!
