For your own good, keep away!

On Tuesday afternoon I had an appointment to meet Zacharys new Doctor. Kayla comes home sick from school that day, and I'm thinking, why does she have to get every Little bug that comes along? I was going to leave Adam home with her, but she was really sick, and spending a lot of time running to the bathroom. Adam, Zach, and I were at the Doctors forever. I think we spent close to an hour in the waiting room. Adam was having fun, playing with the toys, and Zach was sleeping, but I was a little stress ball. Kids all around us were coughing. All I could think of was please, please, please, don't share your germs with us! I was about to leave when they finally called us back. The Doctor was running late because he had a kid with an appendix problem ouch! We made it home just in time for me to run to the bathroom. Shoot! Kayla wasn't the only one that was sick. I called Chris to make sure he was OK, and he was. All of the boys were good, so Kayla and I took turns making horrid sound in the bathroom. Chris came home and decided to join in the fun. The nurse was schedule to come that night, and every time the phone rang, we thought that it was her calling to cancel. Thank goodness she came. As soon as she came, we passed off the baby, and put the kids to sleep, and went to bed. Sleep was hard to come by. Kayla, Chris, and I were running to the bathroom all night. The next morning, I came down stairs, and told the nurse she had better go home before she got sick to. She only made it as far as her car. I felt so bad. We rested that day, and by Thursday, I'm thinking we are going to recover. Friday morning, When I tried to wake Adam up for school, he said that he was sick. He had a fever and was shaky then he started to cough. Well, It was more like a bark then a cough. It sounded a lot like what I heard at the Doctors office. He got sick so fast, every time he coughed he said that it hurt. He was feverish and very week. I felt so bad for him. I took extra care of him all day, with the attention that is usually reserved for Zachary. It was strange to see Adam so frail. Today is Saturday, Adam is still sick and after being up for most of the night Chris and I are so tired. We also woke up with headaches, and a head cold. I even have an itch at the back of my throat and I want to cough, but I refuse to(for now). I hope that I don't get this bug as well, and we are all praying that Zachary doesn't get it. I'm not sure how he would deal with it. I am hoping that I will get strong enough to disinfect the house soon. I go crazy with the pine-sol sometimes. Adam said that our house is sick. he said that we need to "get a guy to build us a new house." If it were only that easy! As soon as I'm strong, I will get the house cleaned, and please no more germs. I want to go on vacation this spring break, but we have to be healthy! wish us luck!
