Home has been hit with the Sickness

Now that there are two little people in our casa, that makes two down with the sickies...First my Little Man with congestion and cough...I became more concerned when his breathing became more labored on Sat evening. Big Man and I decided to take him to Urgent Care, where sadly (broke my heart) he had to have all of the yucky suctioned from his nose and throat. In turn he was diagonosed with RSV...not much we can do for him with the exception of saline and an aspirator. I slept with him on my chest as I was scared he would stop breathing. So far so good his breathing has gotten better, he is not as congested and thankfully the cough is all but gone.
Then comes Sunday evening, Little Miss said taht her tummy was hurting and she wanted to go to bed. Now if you know anything about Little Miss, she does not sleep! So this was to my surprise. I felt her head and took her temp. She had a 99.7 fever. Now to the Medicine Cabinet. Thankfully she took her medicine like a good little person (This too unusal).
This Bright and Early, 7 AM! Monday morning, Little Miss came in and was burning up. I took her temp. Yep fever. Oh NO! We are out of Motrin. Off to CVS, Motrin has been pulled off the shelves but you can use the generic which is the same thing? Strange...This time I had to Dilute the Kool Aide and WaLa! Fever broke...

Little Man resting quietly...

Morning Nap for Momma, how do parents do it with multiple sickies...I am learning in due time, being a mother of two for 1 month and 8 days...I still have a long time to learn...
