Sick Days

watching a movie together so that mom could clean up the kitchen w/out holding a baby at the same time.

We have a house full of sick bodies, and the two small ones are the worst. In the last post I said how Oliver was sick and we took him to an after hours clinic on Saturday. He got on an antibiotic, and finally today I am noticing some improvement. Although he still has an awful cough. Well on Monday Danica started to get a fever and a cough. She only coughed a few times so I didn't worry to much about it. Then yesterday she was sick sick. Her and Oliver just wanted to be held, so I spent most of my day with them both in my lap. Last night she went to bed at 6:00. And I checked on her a couple of times, and around 10:00 Dan and I were getting ready for bed. I did my rounds checking the kids. To my surprise Danica was wheezing terribly,and extremely hot. So I took her into the bathroom and we sat in steam for a little while and then back to bed. I called my sister in law who is a nurse to see if there was anything I should do. Just the usual humidifier, steam, and then take her in to the doctor in the morning. Dan moved a mattress into the room and I slept in there. She woke up a couple of times, but of coarse I woke up all night. I was very paranoid because the was she sounded. In the morning I called the doctor and took her in at 11:00. Diagnosis is bronchitis! Yuk not what we wanted to hear. So she is on two antibiotics and breathing treatments 4x daily. We are praying hard that Oliver and her get better really fast. Here are some pictures from today.

A fun weekend outside!

What a beautiful, wonderful weekend we have had. All except Oliver having a bad cold. We have spent a lot of time outside this weekend. It's been 80 for a few days. Saturday We took Oliver to the doctor to get him checked out, it turns out his cold was heading down to his chest so they put him on something. Then we went to Chain o lakes for an hour to visit our friends. Then home to rest and relax. Then today Dan went riding, and the kids and I stayed home to play outside. We didn't go to church, because last night Oliver sounded so awful. I slept with him because I was afraid he would choke, or something. It was sad he would cough so much and then just cry because he hurt. But by morning his cough had gotten better. Anyways it was a good day for us. Here are some pictures from today. Hope everyone has a great week. What a cute little face!
Come on sis, I'll take you for a ride.
