Sick of Being Sick!

So everyone in our house has been sick in the last few weeks at one time or other. Shad has had a stuffy nose, cough, random fevers, vomiting and diahrrea over the past few weeks. He's been to the doctor twice only to be told he has a viral infection and it had to run its course. This past weekend his fever reached 103 degrees and we were back to the doctor for the third time 0n Monday. This time with a double ear infection, poor baby. I'm so tired because after being vomited on, pooped on, snotted on, coughed on, and of course cried on, now I'm sick. I've had it for 2 weeks now and can't shake it. Probably because I'm up and down all night with Shad so I'm not getting to rest so I can get well. Katie had the stuffy nose and cough with sore throat first and gave it to the rest of us. Bless her heart, she's finally starting to feel a bit better. Steve was sick with it for a couple days last week but he stayed in bed for like 17 hours straight and got better quickly, thank goodness. Steven has had stuffy nose but hasn't been feeling too badly so I'm thankful for that. I hope he doesn't get it too bad.
So, I'm so sick of being sick! Hopefully in the next couple days I'll get to feeling better. I'm sure after a couple days of antibiotic, Shad will be feeling better too. He had a rough day today with his fever shooting back up. It's so hard to get medicine in him. The easiest way is putting it in his drink but when his fever is up he will not drink anything. So we have to do it the hard way by wrapping him in a towel, putting the medicine in a syringe and squirting it into his mouth while he kicks, screams, spits, and sometimes vomits it all back up on me. It's a simply horrible experience for us all, especially poor little Shad.
Please remember us in your prayers and hopefully we'll all be well soon.
I have to say thank you to our wonderful friend Bud Barnett who has been so dear to come by and pick up Katie and Steven for church so we wouldn't all have to miss church. Thanks Bud! We love you so much!
