Sniff, cough, hack, barf, and screams of agony: the sounds of our week

When it rains, it pours! As any family with children will tell you, it is very difficult for just 1 or 2 of you to ever get sick. Almost every time, it culminates into a factory of disgusting sounds, an array of varying meds (some cherry flavored, some chalk flavored), and no one is exempt.

Such has been our household the last week! It started off last week with both boys getting a virus, coughing and very high fevers. At one point Declan's fever was up to 104.7! Talk about giving a mama a heart attack! Just as they were getting better, Nathan got it too, but his cough is even worse, and comes with a dose of congestion. But mine takes the cake. I had gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining. Talk about painful (I was the source of the screams of agony)! I went to urgent care, and after getting some numbing stuff that worked for about an hour, I spent the next 48 hours in bed not moving. No fun for any of us!

I think we'll all be in fine shape to enjoy Father's Day tomorrow, but here's to hoping we are over the diseased hump and on our way to recovery!
