Just thought I would update you all on how our week finished out. Recap: Makenzie was sick from Sunday Feb 24th for three days. She felt fine and went to school on Thursday but fell ill again enough to stay home on Friday. Saturday she was good to go and has been her old self again. Tait was sick from Monday to Friday and missed going to the baby sitter because of it. He just couldn’t sleep very well and was just a mucus factory while his ear infections took him out. He is doing better but still is acting a little strange and finally slept through the night last night.
Update: Colton didn’t escape the sickness. He got sick Wednesday night and was out and down Thursday and part of Friday. The good thing is that it did not get him as bad as Makenzie while his temp only reached about 101. He was better by Saturday and running around the house.
Low and behold, Megan got sick on Wednesday and it too knocked her out with a high fever, chills, sinus congestion and coughing. She had no energy and I even came home early on Thursday to help with the kids. I am glad I was able to come home and help out as she was really feeling sick. She missed work on Friday while she recovered. Saturday she felt good enough to go to work but still was not 100% (What a Trooper). She is still trying to recover to that 100% even today. To make matters worse, I thought I had escaped this entirely but, oh no, that couldn’t happen. Friday night I started getting sinus congestion. Saturday I had the same thing Megan had but just didn’t have the high fever. I was light headed, congested, no energy, chills and consistent coughing. I was out Sunday also while I tried to recover. Monday I felt good enough to go back to work. I still have a cough and stuffy nose but am feeling better. Megan and I feel like we have been beat up because our backs and chest are sore from all the coughing we have been doing and feel worn out. We need a weekend before the weekend.
We are just happy that the end is in sight and that was one week we don’t want to have to do repeat. We hope all of you and your family’s stay away from the sick bug. It is not fun.

Oh. No fun on the homefront. I'm glad to hear that you're all seeming to feel better. And I hope it stays away! We definitely missed you this weekend. But hopefully we'll see you sometime soon!
I have to fill in the fact that Trent was a HUGE help to me while these kids were sick. Poor guy came home to find three sick kids surrounding thier sick mom on her bed watching cartoons. Thanks bunches for all your help Trent.
Having sick kids is bad, but sick parents are the worst. It's so hard to take care of the kiddos when you're not feeling well yourself. Get well soon!
I am SO sorry that you've all been sick! I wish I could have fixed it all for you!
We sure missed you this weekend. I was so disappointed to find out that you weren't coming. We'll make it up in May when we are in Disneyland! Yay!
I'm glad you're all doing better. It's nice that it's the start of a new week so good luck and may this week be ten times better. :)
