H1N1, Croup, RSV...what next?

Hopefully NOTHING! Our family has had all of the above in the last 5 weeks. It started off with the swine flu (or so we think, no one would actually test us), we were all sick for ten days or so, and Will had his first ear infection along with it! We finally all recovered and were well for maybe 3 weeks, then came croup and RSV. Will was running a fever, had a barky cough, sore throat, ear ache and lower tummy pain. After two trips to Kidscare over the weekend and one steroid treatment he was diagnosed with croup. We thought he was doing better on monday and then he woke up tuesday morning with a 102.7 degree fever....again (that made his 5th day with a fever. Mike took both of the boys in to see our pediatrician tuesday and after a chest x-ray Will was diagnosed with RSV, oh ya, AND another ear infection. The poor little guy has had a run of it, this last illness was the sickest I've ever seen him. And now course Mikey has it too! All I want is for my boys to be healthy and happy again. We're just hoping that we're getting all of our illnesses out of the way and that the rest of 2010 will be healthy!
