Life was going good. Well, for about 2 weeks. Andrew recovered, everyone was healthy and happy, and we did the usual:
Smiled, acted silly, played dress-up, went out for ice cream, park adventures...yep, the usual.
And then, the sickness hit. Within 24 hours, I was at the doctor's office twice and the ER once. The diagnosis changed each time: virus, double ear infection, strep. But one thing was for sure: these babies were sick! Especially Jude. He screamed for hours nonstop. And whatever this nightmare was, it caused ulcers all down the throat, a rash, and blisters on the skin. I'm no doctor, but it sounded pretty much like hand, foot and mouth virus.
Mimi and Grandpa were back! They helped out with the kids and around the house, and thankfully, by the end of the week...the kiddos were all back to their wild selves.
I've never been so thankful for wild (but the best part: happy) children...who once again sleep through the night.
