The Infirmary

My apologies for the delay in posts but I've been running an infirmary around here.  It started with the boys and then it hit Wes late last week.  After Sawyer started wheezing this weekend, I took him in to the doctor today to make sure he didn't have pneumonia.  Whether he did or not, he got, not 1, but 2 breathing treatments.  He looked so pitiful with this oxygen-like mask covering his little nose and mouth.  Talk about feeling helpless.  I just wanted to suck all the germs out and take them all myself.  He didn't seem to mind though, as he fell asleep during both treatments.  He looked like he was getting high with the smokey-mist vapors coming out and his eyes rolling back in his head as he breathed them in.  All I know is that it cleared up his lungs and hopefully he's on the road to recovery.  Now if I can just get more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep tonight, we'll be in business and perhaps I can even blog later in the week!  

Remember Old Man Winter, I asked you nicely to leave?  Now I'm not asking, I'm telling you.  GO AWAY!  This is the longest.winter.ever!  Charleston never looked so good (:

  1. Oh no!!! I hope you are all recovering. You will hear soon but we are at a constant state of runny nose around here and I've gotten the SAME cold that I've had at least 3 times this winter AGAIN. Ugh.

  4. You guys too?! Shawn had it first, now Sam & I have it. Luckily, it doesn't seem to have hit him as hard as me. Or maybe I'm just a big wimp. I agree...Winter has overstayed it's welcome this year.

  6. I am sooooo over winter as well. If we hadn't had temps in the 35+ range this week I was going to lose it. Now I just need to snow to melt and there to not be anymore until next winter.

    Hope everyone is on the mend very soon!!
