Well, my fourth child has been sick and has caused me to stay home from work. I realize that I have four children and children get sick - but I think I have missed more school this past month for sick kids than I was all last year. The thing that stinks the most, other than seeing their sad, miserable faces, is the fact that they just keep getting each other sick and I see really no end to the cycle. Oh well...eventually they have to be better.
The nice thing is - Sam, who we had to take to the doctor because he was coughing to the point of not breathing, has been on meds and he is a completely different person. The down side - he is done with his meds now and the cough has resumed. I was relieved to see him so healthy when taken the medication. I thought there was something wrong with him developmentally - blind (he wouldn't look at us) deaf (he wouldn't follow our voices) socially (he didn't seem to smile when we were around). The doctor said that kids from large families tend to develop physically first (would explain why he was rolling over at a month old...seriously). Though that explanation helped me somewhat - I wasn't 100% convinced. There was just something off. Well, on his meds his matty eyes cleared up, he began cooing and talking, he was bright eyed and just a different, happier baby. So, it is good to know that when healthy - he is great. We just have to keep him healthy...easier said then done when all the kids keep getting each other sick.
Well, hopefully the bug is done in our house and will leave us alone for awhile. Hoping health for you and yours!
