Please pass the croup. Please.

Apparently the croup comes in pairs at my house.  B started to get sick when he came back from the country.  We thought it was just allergies, but apparently it's not.  He's been wheezing really bad, so we're back on breathing treatments and steroids (so much fun) for him.  Being the sweet big brother he is, he shared it with Baby M and now she has it, too.  At the same time.  So she's on steroids and refuses to sleep.  I'm just a tad bit frazzled and tired of fighting them to sleep or to sit down to take the breathing treatments.  I'm thankful that's all it is, but I will be glad when they both feel better and they get back on their routine.  I've accomplished absolutely nothing this week!

I'm sure that people think I must be crazy in the winter because I try to keep B away from a lot of people.  It's not that I just don't want him sick.  It's that when he gets sick, his asthma kicks in high gear.  I hate the breathing treatments because they make him shaky and wired and agitated.  I can never get him to take the full dose because he ends up shaking so bad that I have to stop.  It's either that or him stop breathing, so I chose the shaking.  Daddy T had asthma but outgrew it, so I'm hoping B does, too.  The bad news is that croup usually comes with asthma. Not always, but usually.  Not good news for this household!  Please pray that Baby M doesn't have it.  I'd hate to have 2 sick all of the time.

So, that's my excuse for my lack of updates.  I've simply been in demand and on duty 24/7 this week.  I'm tired!
