What A Week!

This past week has been quite a week. All of my boys have been sick in one way or the other. It started with Luke and went through Logan and on to Dustin. Both Logan and Luke had runny noses and coughs. Luke wasn't that bad but Logan's runny nose and cough turned into broncholitis which resulted with him having to have breathing treatments. Oh, and let me say that we started the breathing treatments the night before his birthday party! I prayed all night that he would be O. K. for his party. I didn't want to have to cancel it and I wanted him to have a good time. The morning of his party, I ended up calling all of those with children and letting them know about Logan and the wheezing and they all came anyway! Logan had a blast with his cousins and friends. You could tell that he didn't feel great but he enjoyed himself. All in all, it was a successful 3rd birthday party!

Then on Monday, Dustin's last day of vacation, he started feeling icky and it went downhill fast from that point on. Tuesday he got up and got ready for work and kept saying that he didn't feel too good. Well, he made it to work for only a little bit and then came home. When Dustin gets sick, he gets sick. He hasn't been this sick since Logan was just a baby. I actually had to call his mom and ask her to take him to the ER on Tuesday night because his temperature got so high, which isn't that uncommon, but still I was concerned. When both Dustin and Logan get fevers, they get fevers! Any way, Luke is very high maintenance and needs his mommy at night and there was no way I could have left him so my sweet mother-in-law took her baby to the ER where it was found that Dustin had strep throat. They gave him an IV and an antibiotic shot along with a perscription and sent him home. He stayed in bed on Wednesday too! He ended up going to work Thursday and Friday and made his way through. In the meantime, both Tuesday and Wednesday during the day and evening I went with the boys to my parents so Dustin could rest in peace and quiet. So, basically I was a single parent for about 3 days last week. Just let me say that it was tough! I can't give enough credit and praise to single parents. It is hard. I realized I blessed I am to have Dustin and have his help with our boys.

So, here we are on Sunday night already. Dustin is feeling better, but believes he has a bit of a chest cold. I am most likely going to force him to go to the doctors tomorrow! So, hopefully this week will be good and we all will get well and stay well. Please pray for this! : )
