Quarantined (or that's how it feels)

My cold is better, but still coughing up the crud. Thomas was up a lot last night with the croup. I kept wrapping him up in a blanket and taking him into the cold garage because he was wheezing so badly. And his little body was burning up, but he never complained, he just wanted to sleep on the couch, which I let him do. He seemed better this morning, which is typical. He took a 4 hour nap this afternoon, so of course he doesn't want to go to sleep for the night. Adam's cheeks were all flushed tonight and he is sawing logs as we speak, I hope he makes it through the night without the croup cough. He can be pretty dramatic and he might be panicky if he wakes up wheezing and coughing. Oh there's nothing like having sick kids.

Not fun! My kids have been sick but the humidifiers have amazingly worked this time and kept them from coughing at night - which makes me happy! Hope you get caught up on sleep and they feel better.

It is no fun to have sick kids - or a while sick house. Hope eveyone starts to feel better soon!

It's all survivable as long as mom stays healthy.
