A Break from Laundry Land

I’m feeling much improved, and wow the housework has really piled up. This afternoon while both the kiddos napped I tried to get what I could finished. So far it has been 5 loads of laundry washed, 4 loads put away. I still have to strip the beds (today) and wash all the bedding (tomorrow). I’ve washed just about every dish in the kitchen, and sanitized all of the surfaces. I still need to clean out the fridge and freezer before trash day. I emptied all of the upstairs waste baskets, and brought down a few more loads of laundry.

I hope to have all of the laundry caught up by the weekend.  I also need to get a grocery store list together, and get to shopping. I hope to keep the energy up and get all caught up 😉

Urgent Care, My Second Home

Well this morning James and I were feeling much better. He still has the cough, and I still have the nausea, but we were both finally a little better. Dylan took an extra long nap this afternoon, and I got a few chores finished around the house. Thade was still coughing and miserable, and was resting on the big comfy chair. I decided to take a nap and rest while I could.

At 3:00 p.m. James was very worried that Thade was still snoozing, and we checked him for a fever. It was 101, so we thought it would be best to pay one more visit to Urgent Care and get him checked out. There has been a lot of RSV and Pneumonia in the area, and we thought better safe than sorry. It took a little convincing, but Thade was pretty happy to go.

James watched Dylan, and Thade and I headed out to Urgent Care. He still had a fever, and the Doctor said that it might just be a really bad case of the flu, but to keep an eye on the cough. If the cough gets worse he will be put on a Nebulizer and sent in for a chest x-ray.  Let’s all hope that the cough gets better, tonight we were sent home with another prescription and some cough medicine samples to try. I’m hoping for the best 🙂

Dylan is doing great, and his appetite has returned. I had hoped to have a birthday party for him this weekend, but I think we had better wait another week just to make sure that everyone is finally well. I think I’m going to call it an early night, and hope for a little sleep this evening.

Back to the Routine

Well I’m not 100% just yet, but I don’t think that the laundry can wait too much longer. Tomorrow I’ve got to get back to the daily routine, and get the house back in order.

We are all still under the weather, but James and I are making a steady recovery. The kiddos are fine one minute, and miserable the next, both still have awful coughs. Thade is hopefully getting a full night’s sleep tonight, and Dylan is cuddled up with Daddy at the moment. James and I are hoping for a nice night of sleep too, no one has been sleeping well since last Wednesday. The coughs and tummy aches seem to hit in the evening…

Thanks again to everyone for all of the well wishes and prayers for the family. Big hugs to all of you, and I hope that everyone is doing well 🙂

Almost Back…

Thanks to everyone for all of the well wishes. This has been one awful case of the flu…

Friday my Mom came up to help out, I was not well at all. By afternoon James had to take Dylan and myself out to Urgent Care at the hospital. Dylan had a nasty cough, and I was freezing and very sick. I had a few tests run, and it was the flu. James and I were prescribed medication, and the little guys could have Baby Tylenol. By the time that we made it home Thade had come down with the flu, and he was miserable.

By Saturday morning James had the flu too, and we were all still miserable. Nana stayed and helped out with everything. I really appreciated all of her help, and I hope she doesn’t catch this awful flu. I owe her big time for all of the help this weekend.

I hope to be back up and going soon. I have lots of blogs to catch up with too. Thanks again everybody for the warm wishes. Big hugs to all!

Still Here, Still Very Sick : (

I have had an awful case of the flu, and I’m still sick today. I was hoping that this would be one of those over in 24 hours type of flu, but here I am day three sick as ever.

James has been amazing and has helped me out so much. Yesterday he came home with a big box of Day and Nighttime cold medicine, and a Vanilla Iced Coffee. He is such a sweetie. Last night the nausea hit, and James took care of the boys all night. I just hope that he doesn’t get this awful flu, it is just miserable.

Today my Mom is in town to keep an eye on the boys for me. She even brought extra groceries to get us through the weekend, I really appreciate all of her help. Thade is coming down with the cough today, so I know the flu is on its way. Thanks again to everyone for the sweet well wishes, I hope to be up and going again soon.
