Sick sick sick and SICKER! 
if you want the details, it's like this see. January, a blur of activity, ending in a wedding. My aunt and uncle PC were here, staying with us, then they went to northern NH to visit my cousin and Brood. In that week, SAmmy was coughing, and coughing and coughing, then developed a high fever. So for a week or so i was not sleeping well, listening to the baby cough, then with the fever, i did NOT sleep with the fever, getting up to check and medicate all hours. Then the Aunt and uncle and cousin returned on Sunday for the night then they would head down towards home in the morning.Well, I slept in the living room, so i could watch sammy, and around 1am her fever broke, YAY! shortlived :P around 3am, it was obvious that Uncle CP had been struck down by "the BUG" An evil 24 hr bug that leaves it's victim listless, on the bathroom floor wishing for death. *lol* You get the idea :)
So they stayed an extra day while he recovered, we sprayed the entire house with lysol. bought ginger ale, and crackers, and ate very little for fear of getting sick ourselves. Tuesday morning, all have slept through the night, aside from Jesse's nasty cough, it looks like we are on the light side of the tunnel.
I stripped the beds, opened windows, sprayed Lysol, febreze, lit candles, wiped down any and every surface i could.
Mike and I had a nice quiet evening, looking forward to a peaceful sleep in our comfy clean germ-free, bed, but alas!
1130pm, Sammy is struck down, after the second round we knew the peaceful night's rest was for another decade *lol* Mike checked on Grant around 1am when we were going to bed, and sure enough, he started up too, and, another night of up and down. I did not see 4am on the clock, so i got one solid hour of sleep in there somewhere. :P
Mike went to work late, and told me, "honey, your only goal today, DON'T GET SICK!"
I will try dear husband :)
So, yeah, I just hope the that 45 minutes my sis and her new hubby spent here yesterday for lunch didn't pass it to them :(
now, I'm getting coffee, and switching the laundry, and making some beds, and, OI!
Oh my goodness Sara--I am so sorry! You sure your water supply there is clear? I will be praying for you all. We are home in cold house and ice on the window as we wait for the new furnace to be installed.
ReplyDeleteya, pretty sure it's not water. Tmer's girl Naomi was sick like this last week, and it swept through CPIII's house up in NH too, so it's just "going around" and this time we didn't dodge the bullet :P
ReplyDeleteHope the furnace is in soon! I AM glad for a WARM house and lots of clean blankets :)
We had one of those bugs that came in with the NYC cousins a couple of years back. All four of us were hit simultaneously so there was really no one who could take care of anyone else, although I really did try... Hope you all are feeling better soon. Oh, btw, spraying Lysol etc. didn't appear to do one tiny bit of good. Some of these bugs just seem to get you in spite of your best efforts.
