Having been through many winters with many children and many germs, we have had our share of sickness. Nothing even comes close to this winter!
Eric started us off with the six day flu over Christmas. He managed to get pneumonia as well.
Gregg and I both had the stomach flu in January.
That was followed by Jared getting the must stay in bed six day flu followed by a two week stay in bed with pneumonia. We were not sure if he had pneumonia or mono so he had blood work and an x-ray to make sure. He lost almost 20 pounds in that three weeks.
It is a blurr now, but I had the flu next. Six days of barely being able to pick myself up out of bed. I am thankful for older boys that can cook and do laundry! Aaron, Nathan and Kiersten all got the flu at about the same time and each one ended up with pneumonia or bronchitis.
Jordan got his wisdom teeth out in mid February and unfortunately came down with the flu right after. Poor guy was pretty miserable.
Gregg was the last one to get the flu and he also managed to get pneumonia. He missed over a week of work. He was able to work from home a few days but was really dragging.
Even the people at the doctor's office were amazed at how often they were seeing us! Most of the kids hadn't been doctor's office sick in 4 or 5 years!
Just as we were all recovering, we packed up for a once in a lifetime family vacation! I will be posting about that soon... if life doesn't become CraZIneSs again!
