Stay Away from the Jurys

Just an FYI. At the beginning of this month I came down with some raunchy 24 hr flu thing. Mike stayed home from work to take care of me because my body hurt so bad I could barely move. Mike stayed healthy and luckily the kids did too. While we were gone though Mike got really sick, starting officially Tuesday. He went to the Dr. for him to say he thought he had the flu but the test came back negative. I felt so bad I wasn't there to take care of him the way he did for me! He was out of work Wednesday and then again Thursday...so I did get to take care of him some. Well, it doesn't end. Patrick started a nasty cough Tuesday, we called Wed. and got him an appt. for Thursday after we were back and he has RSV! Aaahhh! Cross our fingers that Maddie stays healthy! Oh, and when not sick, Mike apparently looked "pathetic" w/o his family! That made me laugh b/c he sounded it on the phone as well. Maddie ran to him in the airport and it was adorable-Patrick just stared at him and grinned! So, I highly recommend staying away from the Jurys for a while!

I am so sorry to hear that Shannon! Do you need a breathing machine (Nebulizer) for Patrick? I have one from our bouts with RSV if you need it. Good luck to you-you are in our prayers!

Good luck...we just finished a bout of RSV with Andrew who is 5 months...seems like there is a lot of RSV going around this year.

I hope he's doing better. I took Annie in to the dr. on monday b/c she had a bit of wheezing going on and, yup, she has RSV too! Life is fun. I'll send those pics soon!
