Sick & Tired Of Being Sick & Tired

This past week has been full of coughs, runny noses, fevers, and... hospital trips <~ Yes, more than 1! Nic and I were probably the first ones to get sick, Ti followed shortly after, but I'm so thankful that he was still able to take care of us. I tried to hang on at work, but Friday morning was just too much for me to bare. My fever kicked in and I was absolutely MISERABLE!!! So me and Nic were home sick and we soon got a phone call from the school nurse to pick up Siope because he had been throwing up at school. Saturday Ti started having pain on his right side of his body and by Sunday it was just too much for him to bare. I planned on taking him to Urgent Care, but it was so bad that we had to go to the ER. After getting some shots we were sent home with some prescriptions to get filled. Meanwhile, Nic's cough was not really improving. I felt so bad for him. He was throwing up cause his cough was so bad so I finally got him in to his doctor on Monday. We've got him on his breathing treatments 3 times a day and antibiotics for his ear infection. Siope and Mote are back to school. Nic's been out for a whole week. He was so sad that he had to miss his Valentine party :( Hopefully he'll be able to return to school tomorrow... we'll see. I thought I'd be brave and go back to work last night cause I felt bad for leaving my night crew hanging. It was... a challenge, but I survived. I've been to the pharmacy so many times this weekend. I'm over all the medication, the endless Kleenex boxes, and I'm just ready for all of us to go back to our regular healthy routines. Ti went and saw a chiropractor today and everything is looking good for him. Thank goodness. Crossing my fingers that we will all be 100% soon!
