The Fun of Having Four

Well the last two weeks have been so much fun. If you call taking care of sick kids fun. It all started a couple of weeks ago when Patrick came down with an ear infection in both ears. So it was off to the Pediatrician's office and a round of antibiotics for him. Then the next week it was little Emma with an ear infection. Then Benjamin with a sore throat and cough. Wouldn't you know it Grace came down with a fever on Sunday night. Unfortunately it wasn't the same bug as the others had....she had a stomach bug too. Fun stuff at 2:00 in the morning. At least she didn't get her sheets! That was such a blessing. She's been feeling better today although she may still have a little fever. They are just so pitiful when they are sick. It just makes me sad. I would do anything to make them feel better. I just hope that Mark and I stay well. It's awful to be sick and have to take care of others. It feels like somebody has been sick for a year now....it takes so long for it to run it's course when there are so many people to go through. I'm not sure what would be worse...one at a time for a month or all four being sick at once?
