Prayers Please!
If you are reading this, please stop and say a prayer for my family. Everyone is sick. To recap...
Titus had a clear runny nose last Friday all day. He was acting like he felt fine, played like normal...just a runny nose.
Saturday afternoon, Titus started coughing (literally on the way to Mikayla's birthday party.) We left the birthday party early because I was concerned that he might spread his cold to other people there. If anyone reading this got sick from his cough, I'm really sorry!
Sunday - Titus and Keziah stayed home from church with Thad. Raquelle and I went. Titus is now coughing Chronically and really hard.
Monday - Called the dr and made an appointment. Raquelle starts coughing too. Titus is coughing multiple times per minute, even while on cough syrup. I sent Raquelle with Titus to the dr since she was starting to get it too. They did a nebulizer treatment at the office because he couldn't breath. He was prescribed an inhalor. We found out his ear infection from a couple weeks ago had not cleared up, so we got different antibiotics for that as well. We were told if Raquelle gets worse, she can use Titus's inhalor too.
Tuesday - Raquelle is now using the inhalor too. Both kids are fussy and coughing constantly. I set up the baby gate in the hall to try to keep them from couthing on the baby. Thad and I both start to have a "scratchy" feeling in our throats.
Wednesday - Keziah now has it too. Titus and Raquelle are still just as sick as they were on Monday. Kezzy has a clear runny nose and is a little more fussy then usual. Thad and I are now both coughing and having bad sinus head aches. I take Kezzy to the dr. They tell me to watch and make sure her color stays normal when she coughs. If she starts having coughing fits bring her back because what is a bad cold for the rest of us could be RSV for her.
Thursday - Keziah is now coughing chronically too. Her color is staying good. Her nose is runny. She can't breath through her nose to be able to eat. Her nose is suctioned out so many times that by evening it is bleeding. She looses her voice from crying so much. By bed time, we decide to take shifts over night. We can see her cry, but hardly any sound is coming when she tries to cry. She sleeps 1 hour on Thads shift the first half of the night and 2 hours on mine. Thad and I are both now really sick. Titus seems a little better.
And finally today... Titus woke up with a 102.2 fever. Raquelle is crying and clingy. I let the daycare kids come since they have the same thing as us and Charlotte threw up all over the place. Keziah still has no voice so I can't hear her cry. She is coughing and has a runny nose. My sinuses are killing me and there seems to be no end in sight! I just called and left a message at the dr's office to have a nurse call me. I don't know if Titus needs to go back now that he has a fever. The fever could mean that his antibiotics are not working on his ear infection again.
So,...if you have a minute, please stop and pray for my family! Pray that we are all healed quickly from whatever nasty bug we have picked, pray that the daycare kids get over it soon too, pray for my sanity and pacients as I deal with clingy, crying sick kids on only a few hours of sleep...while being sick myself. Thanks.
