Typing this I can hear my 7 year old hacking away while she sleeps. The kids and I are all sick. Started as a cold last weekend then Wednesday we woke up with what truly felt like the flu. The girls were swabbed and came back negative but we've had fever/chills/body aches/extreme fatigue/head aches/congestion/wracking coughs/vomiting from the coughing - awful stuff. Though the girls and I were mostly fever free today the baby can't seem to shake it and moaned then fell asleep, moaned, ate, then slept, over and over. As long as his Tylenol is keeping his fever down and someone is holding him he can sleep but once that wears off the moaning starts again. His Oxygen levels have been dropping to the low 70's upper 60's when he's really upset and I'm afraid if it happens again we will have to bring him to the ER to be put on oxygen. His heart rate goes up to the 160's when his fever isn't controlled - usually 110's. In addition to this virus he also got a molar this week (2 tiny bottom teeth and now a molar?) and a burst eardrum? It's been a hell of a week in other ways that have nothing to do with Mister so I won't go into it here - just ready for this damn week to be over :(
