Thanks Mike!!

Mike went to San Diego last week for work and he brought us all home a wonderful gift...... the gift of being sick! He is so thoughtful! On Sunday Mike expressed that he thought maybe he was getting a cold. He also mentioned that all the guys in San Diego had the crud so he went to the store to buy every cold medicine he could think of to try and fight it off.... nice try! By Tues morning he was really feeling it and went in to see the Dr. He was sent home with antibiotics, cough medicine and prednisone. The "BUG" then proceeded to hit the rest of us by Wednesday. Hali woke up crying that her legs and throat hurt. I woke with a cough and sore throat and Lexi woke with a smile, but a cough. So Mike went to work and me and the girls headed to the doctor. Hali had 102.5 temp., Lexi 101.0 temp, and me only 98.9 (I have to admit... I had started myself on antibiotics the night before so I already had a round of antibiotics in!). Our Dr. is so great and patient, even when Hali cried just having her temperature taken. Who would have thought "my" daughter would be so afraid of anything medical..... Anyway, we all went home and loaded up on antibiotics and good cough medicine. Mike and I did have to hold the girls down to get the meds in, but we got it done! Finally today Hali is taking her antibiotics like a big girl as long as she can have her chocolate milk afterwards!!! Hali did say, "Mom chocolate milk fixes everything!"
Now we are to Friday and the girls woke up feeling great....mommy on the other hand needed another day to rest from being sick plus taking care of sick girls!! Oh well, no chance for that! Time to go to my three nights of work taking care of sick patients at the hospital!!!
Thank goodness I have an awesome husband who can pick up where I left off. Thanks, Mike.

There's nothing worse than taking care of a sick kid when you are sick yourself! I would have thought that as a nurse you'd be immune to everything by now.

I do have to admit I rarely get sick! So I shouldn't complain to much!
