As with everything, there is the good and the bad…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a houseful of kids being bit by the flu bug is no different.<\/p>\n

Sammy is still down, feverish and then sweating it out.<\/p>\n

Max came home yesterday, his eyes red and head hot. \u00a0When I asked him why he didn’t call me, he replied, “Well there was just 2 hours left and I didn’t see the point.” <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Tyler is just not feeling well. \u00a0Not sure what he really has but he was up most of the night.<\/p>\n

Josh, hollered for me right on cue at 1:30 am… “Mommy, I want you<\/em>.” \u00a0This is our nightly appointment … every night. \u00a0As I went to him, I could feel his head warming up and his cough wet and full.<\/p>\n

Jordan isn’t up yet for me to assess… but due to the fact that I had little sleep… I’m gonna assume he is not gonna make school on time.<\/p>\n

And last but not least, my sweet Zach straggles out of bed, “I don’t feel good.” <\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a wrap.<\/p>\n

Yesterday Sammy came to me and said, “I didn’t sleep well last night.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I nodded as he was quite restless. \u00a0He said, “I was hallucinating. \u00a0I thought your bed was a dragon and was gonna get me, so I couldn’t close my eyes.” <\/em>He told Sanj he would never do drugs as the hallucinating wasn’t fun!<\/p>\n

As I was watching Zach’s hockey game last night, my phone rang. \u00a0It was Sammy.<\/p>\n

“Mommy, on TV there was a commercial for this thing called Vapour Rub.. \u00a0It helps your cough. \u00a0Could you get me some?”
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

VICKS? I laughed out loud. \u00a0Sammy would HATE the smell of the vapours on his chest. \u00a0Yet he is me child that is drawn in by ads. So funny!<\/p>\n

Since Sammy has been down since Saturday, he is thinking of the social life that he is missing. “Mommy, do you think I’ll be better by Friday?”<\/em><\/p>\n

In the seconds that he said this, I wondered if\u00a0he was hallucinating because I was sure he wasn’t worrying about school work.<\/p>\n

“What’s Friday?”<\/em> I asked<\/p>\n

Sammy: \u00a0“The school dance!”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s my boy. \u00a0Sick as a dog but life is still a party.<\/p>\n

While having sick kids is no fun… our house is not quite as noisy, less chaotic, nobody looking for food constantly and there is a stillness that is never here.<\/p>\n

Get better my boys… quick!<\/p>\n
