SICK!!!!



 I think that when one is sick, it doesn't take long for others to get sick.  This weekend we came down with a cold.  I actually think it started on Thursday, however it didn't hit hard until Saturday night.  Joe, Justus, Orion and Matthias (and now me) are all coughing, sneezing, and have the snotty noses too.  Joe had a fever on Sunday night, but Monday morning he was well enough to go to school.  When he came home though he had a fever. UGH!  Last night was terrible.....  Matthias had such a high fever I wanted to cry.  At 2:30am his fever was 102.6 under the arm.  We were able to get his fever down enough that he was able to sleep again.  During this time Orion woke up several times with a croupy cough and wanting me to nurse him.  Which I did because he would work himself up so much that he sounded super bad.  He woke up at 11:30, 2:15 and 5:45.  Another UGH!  Joe has been coughing during the night thankfully with no fever.  (staying home today)  Matthias is agian running a high fever of 101.2 (under the arm- do you add a degree when taking under the arm? I can't remember.)  Please pray that we will all get better soon and that Katie, Luke and David won't get this!  Whatever it is....

Matthias looks rough! Let me know if you need a nurse!

Oh, yuck! I'm sad we didn't get to see your faces at Isaac's party, but...I'm glad you didn't expose us to this either. :)
According to the little info book that came with our thermometer, if you're measuring under the arm anything over 99 is considered a fever. But that's all I know for sure. According to some internet sources, yes, you add a degree when taking it under the arm.
Hope you all get to feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear the flu has hit your family. I was in the ER twice in Colorado Springs and saw several people with the flu wearing the masks. Thankfully mine is my neck and not the flu. Get well soon!
Prayers coming your way.

I love your new blog background! Sorry everyone is ill. Your tougher than me to blog about it when your sick. I will have to come by and give you a cup of coffee or something.
Love Beth
