Winter sickness

The sickness bug got us...and it got us good.

Maggie was pretty darn sick the week of Christmas, with a stinkin' fever of 102-104 degrees for 7 days.  We just couldn't get rid of it.

Finally the doctor agreed to put her on an antibiotic and we immediately saw relief.  But, not until she passed the bug on to Colin.

Colin was pretty darn sick the week of New Years.  He didn't have quite as high of a fever, but both of them had the nastiest sounding cough and weren't really sleeping (at all!)

So, we had some cranky, tired, sick kids paired up with some cranky and tired parents.

Somehow Brian and I have managed to avoid it all, which we are pretty proud of considering both of them just wanted to cuddle the entire time they were sick and we had direct coughing, sneezing, and snot wiping all over us.

My mom came into KC to watch Colin this past week (seriously so thankful for her help!) cause Brian and I couldn't take any sick days from work.  I was by myself at the hospital because my co-worker had taken the week off, and Brian can't ever take time off around the holidays because that's his busy season.  

I think we are on the mend, finally.

We sent both kids to daycare for the first time in over 2 weeks.

We hope the rest of you are all healthy and well, I will try to get back to my regular posting soon!
