Oh Goodness...

Life with kids is always interesting, fun, entertaining, and most often exciting. But with all that there also comes the inevitable carousel of sickness. Cooper was well for about 3 months, and we were pumped! We literally put him to bed a couple of weeks ago talking about it, and he most definitely came down with croup the next day! He was able to get a big dose of medicine from the doctor after the weekend, and only had a moderate cough for a few days after that. Well, in the meantime, Quinn came down with an upper respiratory infection and had a cough and snot issues. He's still dealing with a little snot, but most of the cough is gone. The next week (this past weekend) Cooper woke up again with a fever and drainage coming out of his ears. The next day he had a rash and we took him to the doctor on Saturday. He ended up with a double ear infection and strep throat!!! Poor baby! He was absolutely miserable for a couple of days, but has been fever free for two days now and is back to his old self.

Now it's mommy's turn...I started with a sore throat last night and woke up with one pretty swollen tonsil and I'm off to the doctor today. (All this in trying to keep little man from getting anything serious.) We'll see what he has to say. Hopefully we'll be able to kick it in the butt before it gets full blown. (And on my birthday! Boo!)

We are headed to Gatlinburg this weekend providing all are well. Hopefully that will be a nice, restful time.

Cool man!
