sickness

we have all been sick this week.  Mark started last week...took him to the doctor on Saturday and said he had a crackle in his left lung...never heard that term (crackle) before, but he put him on antibiotics and a steroid so obviously not good.  crackle...wonder what it sounded like...i always think 'hey can i hear too' when the hear something or see something in the ears (like for an ear infection) - what does 'bad' look like?  i can only imagine.  so we stopped the steroid after 3 days - they make me nervous...not sure why...just the word maybe (? i'm nuts i know).  but he improved drastically after the 3rd day...ahh the 3rd day - it.is.the.worst. of all the days...i think i have a thing about the 3rd day..the 3rd year... let's start from the beginning - 3rd grade was awful...that was the year i was diagnosed with diabetes... junior year of high school was rough - classes were hard...sports/coaches were mean...junior year of college was horrendous...classes were almost insurmountable...almost decided to change majors...now it's piddly stuff..3rd day of the week is usually my roughest...has the most meetings...deadlines...last day at the office before working from home so i'm trying to get as much done that i can only get done at the office...bah

Noah started feeling crummy about Tuesday...started coughing...but only slightly; we started with our usual protocol of vics vapo rub on the feet + socks... but by Wednesday he was coughing terrible and runny nose...i took him to the urgent care at Price Chopper and she said he sounded a little weezy...but if we didn't start something now - we'd be back in a couple of days...so he is also on antibiotics and a steroid...and delsym...oh lord don't forget the delsym...that stuff is magic... basically neutralizes the cough...today is his 3rd day...should be a doozie...i'm working from home...mark is here too, but he's back to his old cute smiley self...its fun to watch him worry about Noah... every time Noah screams for me - mark comes running in case i didn't hear it ('momma!  and then he'll point in Noah's direction)...yeah right;)  and Noah was laying down this morning in our room resting watching TV and mark just didn't know what to do with himself because his buddy wasn't there to play...he kind of walked back and forth from the living room to the hearth room looking for something to do...partners in crime and one man was down... ;)

i'm coughing too...but who needs/gets a sick day - not me... slurp down the delsym and keep moving...don't stop moving because you may tip over... oh well...one day it'll only be me and curt again and he can listen to me whine more...about not feeling good.

here are few pics...on the mend...probably no soccer tomorrow - too much snot to even consider running...oh well...sounds like a movie weekend :)

get out of here sickness - we've had enough!  love Mark's face!
