What a week!

The last week of my life went something like this. Quinn has Strep throat, feels miserable, has to study anyway, has to stay up til the wee hours of the night studying anyway, has to wake up way to early anyway. Me trying to keep the kids away from Quinn when he is home, trying to play outside...oh wait it's raining and snowing again, yes we live in Texas and it snows here now. One day of sunshine, take Triston to the park, Triston insists on swinging with no hands, I insist more that he holds on, he agrees to hold on if I will give him an underduck, I agree, I push, he lets go, he falls on his head, he receives his fist concussion. I freak out, huge bump comes out on his head, he insists on taking a nap for the first time in a year, I freak out more, Quinn comes home, I feel better, we force Triston to stay awake, take him to the doc, concussion confirmed, I bawl. So I think we are in the clear and then, two nights ago Bridgie starts getting a runny nose, lay her down, throws up, girls nite, back to bed, a little coughing. Last night, runny nose continues, coughing starts, coughing continues, rattling chest begins, Triston wakes up yelling, sore thoart, he starts coughing, I stay up all night with B sleeping on my chest, Quinn stays up all night trying to get Triston to stay a sleep. Morning comes, get someone to cover my shift at work, call doctor, go to doctor, both kids diagnosed with RSV, Bridge also has an ear infection, I cry again. Go pick up all meds, nebulizer, try to get kids to sit with nebulizer on, screaming begins, running on no sleep, the hamburger buns I was going to use for dinner were stale, find something else to fix, finally got all med's given, humidifiers on, beds propped up, and Quinn is now back to studying, and I have a sore throat. Awesome. Makes me realize how grateful I am for our normally great health.
