Some nasty sickness at our house

The last two weeks have not been much fun at our house. It started out with me getting really sick with some sort of respiratory bug. Then of course the kids got it, first Jazmin, then Ryan. Joel followed suit a couple days later, and Jake was bringing up the rear. It seemed like we finally had turned a corner and were starting to get healthy again, and then Jazmin got really sick. Then Jake, who we thought was getting better, got sicker. My poor babies, Jazmin has pneumonia and was running 102 temps, and was bringing up blood into her trach! She's had to be on her vent about 20 hours a day for the last week. Jacob poor kid has been super whiny, and after one trip to the md didn't produce results, I took him to urgent care today. He's got an ear infection and pneumonia as well. Those poor kids have had a rough week, and Ryan's bored out of his mind being stuck at home with them and me. Thankfully, they both seem to be responding to their antibiotics rapidly, and hopefully by Monday they'll be healthy enough to get out of the house and do something fun.

Yuck Abby! Those poor kids. Good thing they have such a good mommy to take care of them.
