Pre-School Germs......

Well we have been hit with round one of preschool germs (what is it that little kids carry the most potent grossest germs out there) and the winner of round one would have to be the preschool germs.......

Miri started showing signs of a cold late Thursday evening. By Friday her nose was stuffy and it hurt. I just figured we were dealing with a common cold no bigger. Friday there was no school so my mom stayed home with her. We gave her some sudefed for her nose, big mistake - it wired her up and took forever for her to sleep. Saturday she seemed better, I however started feeling really sleepy. I slept until almost noon, and then took a 2 hour nap with Miri later that afternoon. I started sneezing and just felt tired. Sunday M complained of her ear hurting, and she ran lowgrade fever all day. I ran fever too, slept almost 12 hours and felt like crud. Ryan started sneezing and feeling bad too. On Monday morning M woke up coughing and sounding rattley in her chest. I took her to the doctor thinking it was just a cold turn ear infection or bronchitst - nope it was a cold turned PNEMONIA! This is the second time in her short life she has had pnemonia - my poor baby.

So we have started antibiotics and breathing treatments (the breathing treatments wire her up so we are not doing them at bed time any more!) She is acting like she is feeling better.

Ryan and I both spent most of this afternoon sleeping. He is feeling better but I still feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest - I have a feeling that a trip to the doctor is in order for me tomorrow was well. Luckily M should be heading back to preschool - but I have made her promise not to bring any more icky germs home! (yeah right!)
