But just barely.
Thank you all for your get well thoughts. They seem to be working. Shenzie, while not completely recovered, seems to be doing better. Her breathing is much less labored and the nebulizer seems to help. She has MUCH more energy than she should considering how sick she is. Albuterol is like baby crack. She gets these huge bursts of energy after her treatments that crack me up! Maybe I need to take some.

Heaten still has a cold, but no RSV so hallalujah! His moods are improving slowly, but surely. He laughed and laughed yesterday…and we laughed and laughed with him…until my throat was even more raw. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a bad cold. Or maybe it’s because when I used to get sick I could actually laze around and sleep it off. Not so much anymore. Even though Jeff has been home (thank God!) it is still full time work trying to keep the babies seperated, give Shenzie her breathing treatments, and keep them occupied when they are fussy and sick all the while coughing and sneezing up a storm of my own.

I feel like I am in survival mode. Everyday I think…if I can just make it through today then tomorrow will be better. I’m still waiting on the tomorrows getting better however. I feel like I want to run away for a couple of days and sleep, watch TV, read, and do nothing at all. Sad, but true. There are no sick days away from being a mommy.

On to bigger and better things. Shenzie now has TWO teeth. She grew another one last night sometime. Along with her new tooth is more motion. She now army spins and scoots in circles. She rolls to where she wants to get and can pretty much cross a room rolling and army scooting her way. Watch out world, here she comes!

Oh Lesley I am so glad she is doing better. I know you were
worried sick. And I’m guessing no sleep too.

Lesley, I hope your tomorrow is better soon. I’m glad the twins are on the mend.
Post a video of Miss Shenzie’s new movement!

Wow, what a good patient she is, she looks so happy
and healthy. I’m sorry you’re still feeling sick. It is SO
hard to be sick and then not be able to take care of
yourself because you’re looking after others. I hope
everyone is healthy very soon.

I’m so sorry to hear your sweet little baby has RSV. I’m telling you, it is HORRIBLE!
The triplets didn’t get it until they were over 3, and they did fine. My poor big fat full term singleton got it too, at 21 months in March. That left his lungs so fragile he got pneumonia in April and he is STILL getting breathing treatments! That is one nasty virus.
I sure hope you are both feeling well soon. I know your pain. I’ve been there so many times I can’t even tell you. My most memorable time was when they had rotavirus and my husband and I both got it and we were so sick we physically could not stand up. The kids were laying all around on the floor and there was vomit on every single towel and sheet in the house and my husband just said, “Call CPS and have them come get the kids. We just can’t do it. We can’t. Someone help us.”
I swear to you, YOU WILL BE WELL AGAIN! I had doubts. I really, really did.
Hugs,
Michele
