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!

Play Time

Will and Mikey playing well together!
Will being very proud of his new toys! He does take great care of them....even cleans his kitchen when I clean mine! Pretty cute!

These are the cutest hats! My friend sent them to the boys last week and they have loved them. Will loves playing "hats" now, it his favorite game. Mikey is wearing the reindeer, Will is sporting the robot (his favorite) and the others include a bear, a dinosaur, and a devil. They are all super cute! Thanks Diana!

Happy Halloween from our little dragon and baby kangaroo!

We had a great Halloween this year. Willie loved trick or treating and was great about saying "trick or treat" and "thank you" to each house. Mikey was a great sport and snoozed in the stroller pretty much the entire time. But by the end of the night we had two really tired boys.
We can't wait till next year when Mikey can run up to the houses with his brother!
