Another scary moment

My husband and twins have been fighting what I assumed was a cold for a week or so.  Well here we are on vacation and the cough sounds worse on both the hubby and the son.  I could not get him to sleep the other night and I found out not an hour later.  He started coughing so much that he couldn't catch his breath.  I jumped up and ran him into the bathroom.  My husband followed.  I'm running around getting medicine for him to help with the cough but he couldn't stop to take it.  So I threw on the shower as hot as it would go to steam up the room, then put on vapor rub.  Hubby was trying to get him to talk take his mind off the coughing.  Slowly but surely we got him stopped and medicine in him. 

The next morning, I had hubby run him back home to the doctor.  Turns out it's bronchitis.  So antibiotics here we come.  That of course is giving him a fever.  Poor guy so far is not having fun this vacation.

I still have things going on at home that need to be addressed.  So my neighbor is keeping me posted and I'm sure will help with whatever we need her for.  I'm so blessed on having her as a neighbor.

Then my eldest has found a friend and wants to do everything with her and her family.  I'm trying to let her do some things but not all.  She wanted to go swimming, but with hubby and son away, I had no one to watch the youngest.  So she had to deal with not going.  Instead I made her take a nap.  We were all tired from the previous night.

I can't wait until I go back to my bed .. this one I'm sleeping on, wakes me up when I'm moving.  But today will be a test, eldest is going swimming in the spring fed pool today with me.  Wish I had someone who could take a picture/video.  Because even though I've told her that the water is really really cold (it's actually warm for here at 72) I don't think she understands.

I'm also thrilled that my youngest is walking around with her walker.  The more she walks around the better she will be and working those legs.

Happy my kids are thriving despite being sick.. but I'd like a break myself :D
