At Least It's Not the Flu

With cold temps and winter come sniffles and other sicknesses. It's tough having unhappy kiddos that have to stay home from school, but all I can say is it could be worse. With the severity of flu this year, we have to count our blessings!

At the library before our first bout of sickness...


Crew ran a high fever for 24 hours, but then was otherwise okay. When asked where he felt bad, it was, "My head. No, my leg. No, my neck."

Not his normal chipper self
Feeling better and hanging with King
And then getting Kingston up from his nap on Wednesday, he sounded like he had croup. Here he is feeling so miserable that he's wants to cuddle with Crew while mommy makes dinner.


Fast forward to Friday, two days later, and his fever continues. Here he is with 103 temp. Poor guy. Went to the doc and it turns out it's not croup, flu, strep or ear infection. Just something else viral.

Rosy cheeks to match his Santa pjs
I thought he was on the mend on Saturday AM, so decided to let him get some fresh air while the older boys went shark tooth hunting in Fort Fisher. But when he fell asleep in my arms, I knew he was still feeling pretty cruddy and low and behold, his fever is back.



In healthier times, here is lunch with all three boys. For better or for worse, these crazies are my life!
