It's been a couple of days since I've made a new entry. The reason for that is simple. I'm sick, as are the two youngest. Lizze is showing signs again of fighting off the same thing. She started with a cough last night.  Gavin's the only one without any symptoms and feeling fine. That's a blessing because if he ended up sick, it could be a bad thing. The boys were tentatively supposed to go hang out with their grandparents today, but I don't think that's a good idea considering how they sound. I feel like shit today, but I'm in good spirits.  It's been a long weekend, and I don't know if the boys will be returning to school in the morning or not. I need to get to the store…

It's been awhile since we've had so many of us sick at once. So far it's still just Elliott, Emmett and myself. Lizze is still avoiding the bug and thankfully, so is Gavin.  Personally, I haven't felt this bad in awhile.  I'm hoping to write more later but for now, this is all I have the energy to do. 

Last night was the longest night in a long time.  I only slept for about an hour and I'm feeling so much worse than I did last night.  I feel like crap and I'm definitely getting worse.  So far Gavin's still doing well and that in and of itself is something worth celebrating. The last thing in the world that we need is for him to get sick.. For now I'm going to count my blessings and survive this... 

I'll begin this entry by sharing that Lizze and I spent the afternoon together. It was really nice to have some time to ourselves. We had a great lunch and got some Christmas things done.  While we were out, Gavin spent some time with my Mom and had a blast.  Unfortunately, that's where the good news end and the bad news begins. As of the time of writing (12:30am 12/02/16), four of the five of us are getting sick. Gavin's the only one without any symptoms and that's likely the result of his twice a week IVIG infusions.  The rest of us are in various stages of getting sick with Elliott by far the worst.  We're all impacted by this in different ways.Emmett is dealing with a bad headache, while…

The boys went to school this morning but ended up still not feeling well and the school called for us to pick them up early from the after-school program.   Emmett has a headache and Elliott's throat is sore. Both boys look unwell and frankly, my throat hurts badly as well. The only ones not showing signs of being sick are Lizze and Gavin.  We've already decided to just keep them home tomorrow because they clearly aren't doing so well.  I think it will be a pajama day and everyone will just rest and get better.   There's apparently something going around the school and we hit the jackpot twice...  Yay us....

It was a really rough night for me but Lizze took care of everything this morning and sent me to bed.  Both the boys made it to school. We weren't sure how that was going to play out.  We were supposed to be in Cleveland but Lizze rescheduled it because I was too exhausted to make the drive.   I'm feeling much better and Gavin is at Grandma's, so we're going to try and take care of any Christmas shopping that we can, while we can.   While we're on a mission, this will also be like having time to ourselves.  I'm feeling really positive about today.... ☺
