sick, sick, sick.........cough, sneeze, uggggghhh.

that's what we are and we're miserable together. Jeff took Lucas to the ER on Saturday (we had just taken him to the doctor on Wednesday) because he could barely breathe. while they were, us girls, said a prayer for Lucas to feel better and the doctor's to help him. by the time they left, Lucas was running crazy. about 2 am, I get woken up from Jeff (I had just laid down about 20 minutes before that) - "I need your help" okay..............stumblin down the hallway, "Lucas threw up, missed the garbage can while I was swinging him around (WHAT??? - too tired to respond more like what?), can you clean him up while I clean up the puke?" (gladly!) got him situated finally and no more throwing up was done.

ER diagnosis was croup and bronchiolitis which my nurse friend Peggy says is really RSV......great.

Jeff has been sick off/on for about a week - Friday night he went to bed at 8:30 on the couch and didn't wake up until 11 am Saturday.

Abbey was sick before Lucas with a fever for 3 days, but has moved onto the constant "No", "I don't need help", "I need help", I-can't-make-up-my-mind-because-I'm-2-and-impossible stage. But she's cute and we love her despite her constant ups and downs.

Ammon - poor guy! Has been okay, but just in the last couple days took a turn for the worse. goopey, red eyes; runny nose, cough, can barely drink milk and just plain miserable. He sleeps in his swing because he can't breathe laying down. Taking him to the doctor tomorrow.

I woke up Sunday with a sore throat, stuffy/runny sinuses, and sneezing - (can barely keep my eyes open at the moment).

On a positive note - aside from all the illness, we have THE BEST pediatrician ever, hospitals in close distance and insurance to help pay for these emergencies and medicines needed. Grateful for medicine and technological advancements that we get to have so close and accessible at a moments notice. Very happy Lucas was not admitted to the hospital......whew. And actually I'm glad we have facebook too - it's nice to get a few extra prayers on your behalf from friends and family all over the world without having to call and whine about being sick. :)

Well, gotta go slothfully to help Ammon.......happy sleeping all.
