A case of the YUCKS!!!

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later and it did. Joel has been coughing and wheezing a little bit lately, so I took him to the doctor yesterday morning just to make sure it wasn't the dreaded RSV. It wasn't, but he got two prescriptions for cough and wheezing. Then when Rob got home from work HE felt awful and had a runny nose and was coughing a lot. I had woken up yesterday with a sore throat, but it went away and I thought I was fine. WRONG! Last night was awful. Thank God Joel seems to be reacting well to his medicine and he slept from 10:00pm until 7:30am with very minimal coughing. Rob slept some, but I was awake all night except from 3:00-4:00 with a stuffed up nose, horrible headache, and a temperature of 100 degrees. It was miserable to say the least. Rob even called in sick to work today, and I can't even remember the last time he did that. He probably would have just taken some medicine and gone in, but we didn't think it was such a good idea for an exhausted, feverish mama to take care of the baby all day. Joel has been such a good boy today and has been pretty cooperative with his sluggish parents. Bailey is so confused! She laid by me on the bed most of the day but occasionally she would get up, go out and look at Rob, then come back in and lay down. Hopefully everyone feels better tomorrow. If not, I think we may load up the van and haul everyone in to the clinic. Let's hope not.... (By the way...at the doctor yesterday, Joel weighed 17 pounds, 14 ounces. The doctor said he is doing really well with his slowing weight gain and that he is right where the doctor wants him to be. Yeah!)
