Sickly start to the week

We took both kids to sick call Monday morning. They both sounded awful! Stratton has bronchitis and they put him on a zpak and Arden just has a cold with lots of congestion so she is taking some meds to break all of that stuff up. Stratton had a fever so I took him to work with me and he was pretty good. He made a pallet in the floor and took a two hour nap. I hope the meds kick in before the end of the week. We are too busy for sickness! But it seems we always come down with something right around Thanksgiving. I started feeling bad last night too, but I'm going to have to just deal with it. There is just too much to do, getting sick is not an option for me! Mind over matter, right!?

Stratton sounded and acted much better this morning, but Arden is the same. I really hope she doesn't get worse. The doc was worried about her developing RSV and I remember all too well Stratton having it when he was a few months old. I don't want to go through that again. Poor baby is already on three different meds right now, I hate to add a breathing treatment on top of that.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. I will be off tomorrow after lunch through the rest of the week, and Jarrod is off Thurs & Fri. I don't plan on getting out and shopping. Fighting the crowds is not my thing. I'd rather sleep! Maybe we'll try and get the Christmas stuff out?

I hope you don't get sick too! I have the worst upper respiratory infection, I mean I thought I was dying. Not fun. Take care of those babies. Praying Arden won't get RSV.
