There's Sick and Then There's Sick

Our kids have been really ill the last several days. Every nasty symptom that a child can have, the four boys have had in spades (although we can't claim too many high fevers). Rashes, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, runny noses, you name it. And this has been going on for almost seven days!

Poor little Graham has had it the worst. We took him to the doctor a few days ago when when he didn't eat for about 36 hours. Tanner has been struggling also, he's had the worst congestion, yet he can't stomach the medicine we have. He gags and spits it up (like his mother), where Brennan thinks most medicine tastes like candy (like his dad). Elijah's chief problem is that he's still two. Take a two year old and wear him down with illness… that's not fun for anyone.

On any given day, one or two of the boys will be doing pretty well, but overall they're all sick most all of the time. It's so bad, even Shannon's been sick, though I've managed to avoid it by getting out of the house everyday. Thank the Lord we've had some good weather so we can open a few windows and get the boys outside for an hour.

I would just like to inform you that the high fevers started last night. I think we have offically hit every symptom with great dedication. Hopefully after 11 days we are coming up on the end.
