Sickness

We were trucking right along through winter. Then it hit, the dreaded stomach bug. Hannah Claire got sick on a Sunday afternoon. She was so pitiful but she was a trooper. On a positive note from the experience she learned the purpose of the trash can. It's the little things in times like this.

We kept HC home from school on Monday to make sure was completely better. On Monday night around 10 the bug hit Shane. He had a very rough night. At around 1am he asked me for something to drink. As I went back to bed I felt it coming. Sure enough I was at 5 with the little critter myself. Tuesday made for a very interesting day. HC woke up with a little fever so she couldn't go back to school. The three of us laid around sick and weak all day. Thanks to our sweet friend Emily who left 7 UP, Ginger Ale, pretzels and jello at our front door. Wednesday we returned to the land of the living. It is tough when entire house is down at the same time.

Life was back to normal until the following Friday when I got the call from school that HC had a fever. I picked her up but she was fine when I got her home. Weird, but okay. Just before bed that night her fever spiked again. She had a fever the entire weekend but no other symptoms. She was happy, playing, eating fine. On Monday we went ahead and took her to the doctor. We were thinking nothing major. We were WRONG! She had the flu and bronchitis. Thankfully she is 100% and we are praying for no more sickness. We have had enough!
