It's been a pretty miserable week for us since the sick bug entered our home. My son was the first to get it, as is usually the case. He had a terrible cough all weekend and stayed home from school on Monday so he wouldn't have to spread the germs to his friends. He seems to be doing a lot better today but in the last few days I've had a very sick little girl to care for. She's so different from her brother when it comes to being sick. He is easier to deal with and just wants to sleep. She, on the other hand, doesn't want to sleep nor does she want to eat. I've been sleep deprived in the last two nights. I know it's hard on the poor girl not being able to breathe through her nose that is all stuffed up.
We've been through this plenty of times before with both children and I know it will pass. Still, it's very hard to see the little ones have to suffer. I do enjoy the extra cuddle time though.
Unfortunately with having to tend to two little sick ones I've caught the cold as well. I've been trying to avoid passing it along to my husband but it seems as if something might be brewing in him as well. This isn't good. He has to have surgery in less than 3 weeks and if he's sick at any point from now until then he may not be able to get it done. I know the idea of postponing surgery has him upset and I feel bad about it. I've been spraying the couch and other things around the house with Lysol as often as possible. I've been constantly washing and sanitizing my hands and having the kids do the same.
It's no fun. I can't wait until we are all healthy and well again ... and sleeping through the night.
