Feeling better

I am so glad to finally have a family that is feeling better. Two Fridays ago Dacia got a cough, then Sunday on our way home from Elko Ash had a fever and threw up in the Artic Circle on the way home (don't worry she was too tired and sick to eat she only threw up lemonade). Then Monday she threw up some more at home. So we missed swim lessons on Monday with sick kids. Then Ash got the cough that Dacia had and Dacia also got the runny and stuffy nose with it. I debated even taking them to lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday morning Dacia tells me "my tummy hurts" so she goes and curls up in her bed and falls asleep. So we missed the last day of swimming lessons. That afternoon I start to get a sore throat and started feeling horrible. In the mean time Brylee got the stuffy runny nose too (her first cold). Friday I felt like I had been hit by a truck I was so achy and I kept getting the chills. That night Ashlyn was coughing so hard she kept throwing up what was in her stomach, so Erik took her to the KidsCare only to be told to wait it out a few more days. She just had a lot of drainage, but they really couldn't do much. Saturday and Sunday we all stayed in, except for Erik. I don't know how he managed to stay healthy while the rest of us felt so miserable. Today we finally got out of the house. Dacia and Ash still have a little lingering cough, but feeling so much better. Brylee has actually done pretty good with her cold. She had a little bit of a decreased appetite, just as she was started to get really good with the baby food. She has woke up at least once during the night either at 11 or 5:30, but I didn't need to nurse her everytime. So we are still doing pretty good with her sleep. Her naps have been a little shorter than normal though, but I can't complain too much. Dacia actually started sleeping through the night when she was 7 months old but then she got her first cold and then back tracked and it took another month to get her to sleep through the night again. So I am very lucky that Brylee has done so good with this cold along with the new teeth and shots she recently had.
