SICK

October 31st marked the start of the flu season for our family this year. Jacob woke up with a fever and Todd followed suit a few days later. Julia and I waited almost a week to show the true signs of not feeling the greatest. In addition to running a fever, aches and chills, Julia showed off big puffy lips at 12 am as a result of some allergy. She only had three things that could have triggered it. Ibuprofen, organic vitamin c candies or soap used to clean off her binky. 

I guess this is a little taste of what it is to be a mom with sick kids, and just a little taste of what my mom went through. 

Nearly 20 years ago I had an allergic reaction to Levaquin that put me in the ambulance and gave me an unrecognizable face to people I had known for more than 10 years. Thankfully my mom had sense enough to call 911. I'm not sure I would have made it to a hospital. 

Anyhow, just a little taste of the bug is what we dealt with and I always think it could be worse. I'm certainly ready for it to get better:) 

This picture was taken in the middle of the night because you woke up after six hours of sleep and were ready to play, read a talk. Gotta love you!
