February Blues!

I have officially decided that February is my LEAST favorite month! It is SICK month! 2 years ago when I was 8 months pregnant with Derrick, Emma got Croup! Then Derrick got sick shortly after he was born! Then last year Emma had Croup again in February and Derrick had Bronchiolitis! I started it all off this year with a yucky cold! It lasted about 3 weeks! Emma got it about a week after me! She had all the same symptoms as me, so I wasn't too worried with her! Derrick got it about a week and a half ago and his symptoms kept getting worse and worse! He was throwing up Monday and Tuesday, then acted better on Wednesday! But, that night he was coughing ALL night! I was going to give him one more night to see how he did, but then almost with out even thinking about it, picked up the phone and made him a doctor appointment! Thank goodness I did because he has a mild case of pneumonia! Poor guy! I feel so bad for him! His fever isn't too high, but he threw up twice again yesterday and all he had were liquids! He started an antibiotic and needs breathing treatments every 3-4 hours! I got him to eat some applesauce this morning and I'm giving him as much juice as he will drink! He is crashed out on the couch right now! I don't even want to move him! I'll just let him get the rest that he needs! Emma started coughing again today and I am not feeling too great either! I'm hoping mine is just from lack of sleep! (Or at least that's what I keep telling myself!) Jon has felt terrible the last 2 days, but has had important meetings at work! Hopefully we can all rest up this weekend and get well!
