This year has really been better than last year for our kids being sick. So why is it that just hearing Cole cough sends a cold chill down my spine? It's most likely memories of last year that are still very strong. I remember breathing treatments around the clock, at least four different medications along with two inhallers to keep up with, and NO sleep. The military uses sleep deprivation as a form of torture for bad people - I understand why. I just keep thinking that his cough will somehow go away without me ever really getting too worked up. Somehow I don't think so. It seems that most kids have just colds - you always hear their mothers say, "Oh, he just has a cold." My kids, on the other hand, never have JUST COLDS! Their sickness involves multiple trips to the doctors office (where I am convinced they pick up even worse bugs to their already weakened immune systems), multiple medications, and lots of lost sleep on their parts. Yep, we have a cough. Please let this be just a cold.. . . . . .
Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.
