Down for the Count

Sick In Bed Medicine Dramatic Death Sickly Too Cold Bloodshot Big Sneeze

I can't believe we are all sick.............again. This horrible cold has knocked us all down like pins in a bowling lane. Symptoms = Hacking cough; watery, bloodshot eyes; fever; chills; deep muscle aches; congestion; headaches; sore throat; swollen glands; runny nose & constant, from-the-toes sneezing. By ribs hurt terribly from all the coughing. Poor E-boy can hardly stay awake or stand up he is so drained, Boo is looking like a poor Basset hound with her big, brown, watery & droopy eyes, and Bugs is oh, so cranky. Sweet Pea is doing a little bit better as he cold started on Wed. She is still coughing a lot though. Poor girl. Everyone is trying their best but are miserable.

It bothers me that this came on the heels of the stomach virus. We were still recovering from that when this hit and our energy stores & immune systems were scraping the bottom of the barrel. I hate that we are missing out on so many activities too. I AM thankful though for Dave's help in taking care of all of us this weekend. I am also thankful that we have the flexibility to stay home since we homeschool. Books

If you would please keep us in prayer we would be extremely grateful. I'm hoping with my whole heart that February arrives germ-free & full of good health & energy! Prayer
