Bronchitis

If there is one word to sum up October it has to be BRONCHITIS!  Uggg...it cycled through each one of the kids and it was no fun.  

Sarah was the first to go.  She sounded so sad when she spoke and we teased that it was like living with a mountain lion in the house.  You could hear her breathing (or purring) from the other room.  It was so loud!  One thing about our kids is they never slow down.  Even when they are sick.  We pretty much have to force them too.  So we knew it was serious when all Sarah wanted to do was snuggle and not move!

The cruddy thing about this was I think it would have been easier if they had all got it at the same time but this lasted THREE WEEKS!  It was seriously like clock work.  Sarah began having signs on Wednesday, by Friday she was completely out, and then on the up by Tuesday.  Then Wednesday, Benjamin took a turn and got it (he definitely was the worst, his cries were guaranteed the saddest sound you ever heard!), and then the next Wednesday Jacob got it.  I think we have broken the cycle though - or at least Mark and I are crossing our fingers!
