I am pretty sure that there is some form of the plague going
around. Definitely the black plague to be exact. Everyone in our home has had
it, and it is coming back around. My sickness started 5 weeks ago with a
beautiful bout of pink eye. I think my system was below par and then wham bam,
death. I was absolutely dead in my tracks. I of course went to the doctor and
he said, welcome to winter-goodluck!! I asked him for an inhaler because I had
a CrossFit competition the next day and was pretty certain I was going to die.
(sidenote we would have placed had I not been a loser---sorry Katherine-I couldn’t
breathe)
I thought we had made it out of the woods and only I had gotten down with the sickness, but noooooOOOOO. After two weeks my poor princess got it.
Check out my snot bubble!!! |
Not only did she get sick but she had Croup. It was so
awful. She barked like a seal being cut by a chainsaw. When babies have Croup it is beneficial for them to breathe cold air to help reduce the inflammation in their lungs. We sat outside and went for plenty of walks in the cold!!
I cant even begin to
tell you how much puke has been spewed on my face, chest, legs, her chair and
carpet. Oddly enough, Levi has seemed to come out clean as a whistle on the
puke front. Go figure. On top of the Croup, she had a 103.9 fever, an upper respiratory
infection, bi-lateral ear infections, is cutting her top two teeth, and is
going through a leap. Johnsons apparently go hard.
On top of her being sick for 14 days, I had to leave for a
work trip to go to Boston. Levi was awesome and stayed home with her for a
whole week because she couldn’t go to daycare. What a trooper he is. Taking care
of a healthy baby all day is exhausting, let alone taking care of a sickly
one!!
She is finally getting over the mass quantity of crud she
has been dealing with but I on the other hand, STILL am jacked up. My ears
hurt, I cant breathe out of my nose and I have nasty coughing fits. Here is to
Levi staying out of the line of fire and a healthy Christmas for all!!
Do Great Things!!
