Cold and flu season has finally hit our family.

I was getting pretty anxious as more and more people started complaining about getting colds and we had yet to see anything. Of course, I was also congratulating myself on my excellent hygiene and hoping that all my cleaning would keep the bugs away but that is never going to happen with two small children!

Rory started coughing and we took out the nebulizer and started giving it to her in the mornings and the evenings. Then she missed daycare because she woke up with a fever on Thursday. According to our neighbors, who took our sick girl in so Dusty and I could continue to work - thanks Chantel, she was fine all day and was warm but not really hot (99's). All weekend she was great, and then Monday she gets kicked out of daycare at 10am because her fever comes back again. Next step? Ship her off to the doctor and sure enough she has the bronchitis that most every kid has had in her room now. So we're back to using the neb every 3-4 hours and giving her antibiotics. Good thing I know how to multi task and can hold that mask down, read a book and make room for Max!


Don't worry too much about her though, she barely lets on that she is even sick. She's back to playing and wrestling with Max and Daddy as soon as that mask is off!



Oh boogers, if only we could find a way to give you a healthy immune system!
