Sick... (
sniffles) Two weeks ago I had a weird flu with only boy aches. Three days later I got over it and last week, Benjamin started with a dog's cough little at a time. By Friday he started with fever until finally got rid of it yesterday (almost 4 days). The cough worsen and runny nose began.
Took him to the doctor to know for sure.. and she said:
Severe Croup cough with
stridor. (Croup is a condition with inflammation of the upper airways caused by a viral infection)
So 3-4 days of fever, and 10 of cough. My poor little guy was
sooo sick he would eat a little breakfast and just go back to bed without telling him anything.. or just laying lethargic on the floor with a blanket.. Well, he is better alright, but as to expect Samuel came down with it. The difference: Samuel would drink and eat everything from soups to medicines, except for honey. While Benjamin more picky
wouldn't drink much but he would take the honey which has helped his cough.
New info learned: when they get those coughing attacks (
stridor) is best to let them breath the freezing air from outside for 2-5 min or leave the fridge door open on their faces.. interesting. My mom would flip if I told her that one. ;)
So it has been the most TV we have had ever.. they are literally pbskids out and now just one few movies instead.
Schedules totally screwed up.. and nights are as long as 1 or 2 hours at the time. But today is a good day at least for my two older ones. Only cough no fever. However my little Daniel (now 3 months) is coughing and vomiting a little. My poor baby. At least there is no sign of fever. And me? well, my throat hurts and have a lot of runny nose as of last night. As much as I miss Jay, I am glad he is not here. The last thing I would want is for him to get so sick , especially approaching his first mini.
On the brighter side, although we missed Church on Sunday I got called as a Relief Society teacher. I felt excited but intimidated since I have taught before, in fact, I have been in charge of education for the sisters as a first counselor in the RS but did I mentioned in Spanish wards? So, in this ward there is few older ladies and less younger ones (since most of the younger ones have Primary callings) and boy, they know their scriptures. Furthermore, as I always thought callings are more for the people who are called to learn from it than for the ones that get to hear you. So, overall I am very excited. Obviously blood drive representative wasn't enough. The funny story: my father-in-law is my bishop.. so you really have only the option of accepting.. hehe not really, I have not turned down a calling and now I am not gonna do that so.
Hopefully we all be good by the weekend.. besides, we are supposed to be -26 F tonight with windshield of course. So, we wouldn't be going anywhere.
We also got to go few places. 
Some she really enjoyed like the Laritzen Gardens.
It was such a priviledge to have her here with us and my in-law's, since we live in their house for now. She played with the kids for half of the time, and the other half she was cleaning around like crazy.. 
Then, baby arrived and she added caring for him too, while I read and gave my attention to Samuel and Benjamin..
