Dreaded Winter

These past several weeks have been really stressful with people being constantly sick. Emerson got sick just after the new year and then so sweetly gave the sickness to me which was a flu , cold combo . Stratton amazingly didn't get it but I figured he would eventually. Well eventually was the beginning of last week . He woke up on Sunday and began coughing . We didn't think much of it and told him to drink some water and we headed off to church . We tried to sit quietly in a pew toward the back but the coughing just wouldn't stop and the people in front of us kept turning around with dirty looks. The man actually left and took his three kids to the hall. Well soon after I took Stratton out to sit in the forure and the same guy quietly stood up and relocated his family once again. We got the hint and left after sacrament. The coughing got so bad Stratton 's face would turn colors and then he would throw up. The coughing turned into wheezing and so after the third day I thought I would take him to the Dr. It is a good thing I did because Stratton had RSV ... yuck ! This past week we were spending our time inside doing three breathing treatments a day and he started taking a antibiotic as well as a steroid which he hated.
He is doing much better now and let me tell you I am happy to report that no one in our family is sick ! No more runny noses , coughing, wheezing , breathing treatments, antibiotics or steroids. It is so waring to be stuck in side all day.
We are free ...free to go out and about!
P.S . No, David did not get sick through out all of this . It amazes me how strong his immune system is . The entire time we have been married he has been sick 1 time , that is it!
He blames his health on all of the vitamin C in the mountain dew he drinks. I guess... whatever works right?

Notice the dreaded runny nose

This has been the mood at our house
