Sick kids

Justin is home from school for the 3rd day in a row with this nasty cold. He's had a barky seal cough. Now the girls have both gotten it!! When Jenna sees me approaching her to wipe her nose, she runs and hides and it's this big fight. She's always fought us when it comes to doing stuff to her. She screams every single night in the bath when we wash her hair. She bites down on the toothbrush and closes her mouth when we try and brush her teeth. She lets me do her hair only because she's a diva, and likes the end result. And now it's a big fight to wipe her yucky nose <>

And they're coughing. All 3 of them. Justin's seems a bit better, but the girls both have that seal bark. It scares the crap out of me. It started with Jenna in the night. She didn't wake up, though, but I could hear her on the monitor. I woke Michael (who would sleep through a nuclear bomb), and made him go into her room and listen to her breathing, but he said she was moving air just fine. This morning I had him listen to her with his stethoscope before he left for work. He said it's not bad enough for croup, and it's not in her lungs, so I guess it's just a bad cold.

And cranky, cranky, cranky Justin. OMG this kid is on edge!! He's argumentative, fighting with his sisters, and crying at the least little thing.

I'm just venting. I'm bummed. We haven't been sick in so long, and now Thanksgiving is next week and we're supposed to eat with all my ILs at my SILs house, and she has a new baby as of August. I don't want to bring my infected kids into her house. We may be eating turkey pot pies at home! The timing just $ucks.

Vent, vent, vent. . . Sorry!

Sofia

oh no Sofia!!!! Jenna sounds like Natalie at that age... except she wouldn't even let me brush her hair
Those poor babies :o(
Normally I would give some home remedy advice, but I'm sure you know it all ;o)
I'll be praying for all the little ones and that no one else gets it. Hopefully all the sickies will be gone by Thursday so you can still enjoy the day with Michael's family.
(((((((HUGS)))))))
call me if you need some cheering up!

AWWW!! I hope everyone gets better before Thanksgiving. Around our house growing up someone was always sick around the Holidays. My daughter has been complaining of a really sore throat and now I am getting one. YUCK!! It is worse when it is the little ones. I decided to brak out the Colloidal Silver. It is already working on mine, but my poor babe is still crying over hers. I wish you the best. Hang in there. I am glad I have only 1 to deal with. Trish

Sofia, I hope you all feel better. :) I guess it's a nice thing that Dr. Michael can make they're A) not faking to get out of school, and B) not really, really sick.

((((((HUGS))))))) to you and your sick kiddos. Kids with a cough is second only to kids with the pukes, very hard. Hope everyone is healthy soon and you can still go to Thanksgiving. (But I must say, turkey pot pies... yum.)
