Sick Bugs

 The sick bugs have invaded our house and they just won't leave. After 3 cans of lysol, 2 bottles of hand sanitizer, & hands that feel like sandpaper the kids are still sick. Sometimes I wonder if I should just put them all in the same room and let them kiss/hug each other instead of trying to prevent the sickness. Poor Bryant and biggest sister Sara Kathryn have suffered the worst of it. They have both had 103 fever and just felt awful. Feel so sorry for them. Amelia has felt yucky but not as bad as the other two. Macie has been the strong and healthy one so far. No surprise there. She is bored and ready to have her playmates back. Today they felt a little better. Praying tomorrow will be even better than today. Bryant has not felt like eating which prompted another visit to the doctor yesterday. He weighed 16lb 12 oz. Yeah, one pound gained since coming home a milestone. We have been struggling with the eating since he feels so bad just trying to stay hydrated. I have come to the realization he may lose a little during this time.  

 I am finally feeling better so it is much easier to handle the kids. Bryant has been tough because he has not wanted me to put him down. He is stuck to me like glue. The one and only positive of this sickness is my little man has become super attached to Momma. There is nothing like your Momma when you are sick and he has learned this first-hand. He is so pitiful. All he wants to do is snuggle with me in the rocking chair with his stuffed lion and his thumb. He cries when I put him down. Unfortunately we have 3 other kids and they need me too. This has made things quite difficult. I know we will survive this sick bug but it has been a rough one. Need a good exterminator...



Bryant the night before the bugs came. Happy and healthy (for the moment)

Next day. One sick little boy.

Sara Kathryn and her pancake. So miserable

My Macie, aka fashionista. She picked out this outfit for school ( those are Jeff's dress socks she has on with her red Danskos). She then bragged to Sara Kathryn she was going to school and she was not.
