The sickies have descended upon us - boo. Paul and Paige have been battling that good ol cedar fever for a few weeks now but poor Paul had it terribly terribly bad. There were nights when he just couldn't breath period thru his nose and those turned into even longer nights for me and Riley (every time Daddy decided to blow his nose or do a little snoring baby Ry would be wide awake.......nice) having to listen to his poor struggle. Paige is an even sadder allergy ball but she hasn't been too too bad. Her asthma has started acting up though over the last day or two so hopefully another emergency room visit isn't in our near future. Too many scary nights of that. Maddie has been the lastest one though to get the yucks!!! Comes home from school and says she feels like she needs to throw-up (but what kid doesn't feel pukey every now and then) but apparently she meant it this time. She was laying in my lap getting me to rub her arm when all the sudden she sat up and walked off. I thought she was going to her room to lay down but Oh No......next thing we hear is SPLAT......SPLAT......SPALT....all over the bathroom FLOOR!!!! So I started telling her "Get to the toilet, get to the toilet!" Well she moved to the toilet BUT the lid was down. Threw up all over that so I say "Get to the tub sweetie, get to the tub" and that's where the carnage finally ended. Poor thing!! She's the most pathetic looking thing when she's sick like that because she only weighs about 20 pounds as it is (more like 40 lbs but she's a teeny little thing :) ) so seeing her sick is just the saddest thing ever. So into bed with toast and gatorade and water and a bucket by her bed - which she used like a pro several times that night and she eventually got some much needed rest for her poor body. She managed to not have anymore of the sickies and after 24 hours went back to school. Maddie had actually been crying that next morning when I told her she had to stay home from school....loves her school time! No one else has gotten the little virus (knock on wood)that Maddie had but if it goes around the house then I'm sure I'll be that last to get it after taking care of everyone else - very Momesque huh :) I'm just praying that Riley doesn't get any of it because that won't be ANY fun at all.
Here's to wishing us all good health around here :)
