Sickness, sickness go away...

The last few weeks have been crazy!  I knew the sickness was coming our way-It had just been too quiet for too long!  I just didn't know it would hit us all in the form of a stomach virus in one night.  This happened about a week ago and actually I was the one who came down with it first, then D, then L then W!! Thank goodness little AG was the only one who didn't get it!  It was a pretty miserable weekend and for the most of the week trying to recover from it. The kids just did get their appetite back this week.  

Just as I thought we were all doing better, AG had been coughing all week last week.  She then started wheezing on Friday and by Saturday afternoon I was headed up to  Urgent Care.  I thought I had done really good by using the call ahead service so we would not have to wait for hours with all the other sick kids.  However, after we got there and were seen rather quickly, they ended up giving her 2 different types of breathing treatments.  After they gave her the 2nd one, they told me that she would have to stay out in the waiting room for 2 hours so that they could "watch" her to see how she responded!  So, for the next 2 hours I chased around my 17 month old in a germ infested waiting room-all the while praying that she doesn't catch something else!  Fun Times!!  Come to find out they think she has bronchiolitis which doesn't really respond well to the breathing treatments.  There is no antibiotics for it-so she will just slowly get better over the next week or so.  I am so ready for Spring!
