Well, it all started on December 27th, and I think it is finally finished. First Bradyn and Avery came down with a bit of a cold. Not a big deal, but then Evan got the croupe. Poor guy! Every breath he took sounded like he was having a major asthma attack. We ended up having to go to the E.R. for some treatment (nebulizer and steroid drink) which did the trick. As soon as that was finishing up, Bradyn got a fever which lasted six days with temps up to 105! Next was Avery's turn. One day after Bradyn's fever broke Avery started to burn up. He also held on to his cold. His fever lasted five days and on day four of it Evan started to get hot. Oh my goodness. The icing on the cake was that Avery's cold wasn't getting any better. Instead it was getting worse. His congestion was aweful, and he would wake up in the night not able to breathe, and would choke on the nasties in the back of his throat. Evan's fever peaked at 106 (41.1 C). Talk about frightening! I was just waiting for seizures or brain damage...instead I got vomiting. Lovely. Well lets keep our fingers crossed that it is all behind us! Evan's fever finally finished a few days ago, and Avery is on antibiotics which are doing the trick. Yahoooo!! I survived!

Awww - your poor sweet boys. Fevers are so scary and sometimes it seems like they get so hot you can cook something on them! Good for you for fairing through with 3 sick little ones. TOUGH MOMMA!
ACK!!! You didn't make it sound THAT bad when I talked to you today! Holy crap! Glad to hear everyone is feeling better now though. We'll talk to you as soon as the move is over and we're all settled into the new house.
Ah yes, well we try not to dwell on the negative ;)
I'm sorry to hear that your little guys were so sick and glad that everyone is getting better. Take care, I'll be thinking about you guys!
