The House of Illness – Life as Leels

The House of Illness

I swear to you, I thought we were all going to die! It started with Buggy last week. I can’t remember if she started getting sick on Thursday, but Friday morning she woke up with such a nasty cough, I kept her home. Buggy missed school Friday, Monday and Tuesday. We sent her Wednesday thinking she was better. Thursday morning she woke up crying of ear pain so we took her in and sure enough, she had an ear infection and she still had a nasty cough. So she stayed home Thursday and again today (Friday).

Monday I started feeling blah, but went to work Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday night it knocked me on my ass. I couldn’t sleep (I ended up in the recliner for a couple hours of shut eye). I could not stop coughing. By Wednesday I hurt from head to toe from all the coughing and have been home hacking in pain Wednesday and Thursday. I stayed home today feeling a little better, but still coughing and not 100%, but I had to come to school so here I am. =0(

Wednesday, Buddy started getting sick and by Thursday, he too was taken in. Unfortunately, the pediatrician said he just has drainage so we just keep giving him cold medicine hoping he will feel better.

Yesterday, I noticed hubby started coughing and now today, he is sick with the nasty cough the rest of us have!

I hate this and cannot wait for it to get out of my house! I will be santizing like crazy Sunday afternoon when I get home from school (I have class tonight until 9pm; tomorrow 9am to 5pm plus it’s my birthday; and Sunday 9am to 3pm). I am kicking out the sick and not allowing it back!
