Cabin Fever

We have had so many germs in our house for this whole year it’s ridiculous!!!! Since my last rant about how sucky it is to be sick  - we all got the stomach flu. It started with Bode who barfed for a few hours one night. As I’ve said before this is normal for him and I really thought it was just from his cold making him cough really hard. Nope! Definitely the flu this time. I thought I was going to DIE when I got it a few nights later. Seriously, one of the scariest nights of my life! I won’t go into details but Clint was so scared he almost called 911. I was so worried what would happen with that nursing babe, that I told him not to call. So yeah, I still fed Owen through that night. AHH! If it wasn’t for him, I would have totally went into the ER or let Clint call. Luckily, it passed after 4-5 hours. Just when I was starting to get caught up on sleep and feeling better Clint got it. His body wasn’t doing crazy scary stuff, but he still had it pretty bad. Before the stomach bug even hit we were already sick!!! I still had the never ending sinus infection, Clint had the world’s worst cough, and Bode had a cold. Monday morning Clint was recuperating from the flu and finally decided to go to the Dr. After getting x-rays and a breathing treatment he finally got meds for severe bronchitis. I’m glad it wasn’t pneumonia which is what the Dr. thought it would be! I kept thinking my sinus infection was on the mend and about to be gone, but Monday morning I woke up with PINK EYE. I didn’t even get it from the kids! The Dr. said it was the bacteria from my sinus crap spreading to my eyes. I had FINALLY had enough. I got on antibiotics.

We are definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t wait to be germ free for once! It’s been really hard on me and everyone in the family to have so many things go wrong. I’m feeling so grateful that Owen managed to get away with nothing more than a little runny nose.

Anyway, I’m done throwing a pity party for myself. It could have been worse. Life will go on. :)

These are just random pictures of the boys entertaining themselves in the house. Poor Bode was sick of any and all crafts, coloring, games, movies, books, computer, etc. He kept saying, “Mom! Let’s go somewhere, please!!!” He would beg to go to wal mart, chik fil a, McDonalds, Jump on it, the zoo, Dad’s work…. every place he’s ever been I swear he asked for us to go there. I’m going to try and do some extra fun things with him to make up for lost time! He’s been a trooper, he deserves it.

This little kid is so awesome. He pretty much entertains himself and is always so cheerful.

Bode was starting to get sick of playing with his dinosaurs (didn’t know that was possible!!!) and started playing with random household items. For example, paper towels.

I love this little cheeser.
