10/13/2009 The Sickness

So here are the sick kiddos. Yes - they are sucking on bottles. It was kinda a fun trick to get them to drink fluids. Luke got the croup. Trav took him to the emergency room in the morning. He was having such a hard time breathing - such a horrible sound - gasping and getting very little - kinda grey lips...we weren't sure if it was the swine flu or what. But it was the croup. Jane and Mary got it too and Gina got only a slight variation about a week later. Leia also got a little sick. She had a stuffin' muffin' (as I call it) for a long time. Absolutely miserable to nurse. But...all recovered and I am now that much more wiser in self treating illnesses. All we had to do was take Luke outside in the cold air to open his airway and alternate with a steamy bathroom visit.
No vomiting. So that was a blessing!
