sick babies

So I had been bragging that we have had a great winter as far as being sick goes. Well, God just struck me down because 3 out of the 5 of us have been sick with in the last week. That's the last time I even think about bragging. Big John had a fever, chills and a head ache last week before his annual men's fishing trip. I thought that we all had escaped his germs, but I was wrong. On Thursday morning as I went in Max's room to wake him up, I smelled the "fever smell". People think that I am crazy when I say that I can smell when my kids have a fever. It is something about their breath- kind of like rubbing alcohol. ALL of them have it. So, Max had that smell along with a 102.7 fever, chills and he was drooling a lot. I thought he probably had a sore throat so I took him to the doctor. Turns out he did have a sore throat complete with fever blisters in his mouth. Lovely!! He was so pathetic and just laid on me all night. On Friday Sam was not acting right. He was not eating and was having major fits. Early Saturday morning he came into our room and said he was "berry, berry chick" (that is Sam talk for very, very sick. I love the way he talks, so cute!!) He had a fever, but when we woke up in the morning he was eating and not too hot. I thought that he was ok so I went to Nonna's house to clean. John called me as I was leaving and told me that he was throwing up and had a fever of 104.9. Holy crap!! That's scary. I rushed home and by the time I got there he was at 102.7. Much better!! I hope we don't have a rough night tonight!!




Here he is with his cool washcloths on his head.

I didn't get any sick pictures of Max, but he was just as sad looking as Sam.
