Sickness has hit the West Family. It all started with Ryan. He got a cold a week and a half ago. It lingered for quite a while. I'm sure he is exposed to all kinds of bugs at his office, but he's really good about hand washing. Some things, you can't get rid of!
Brody started getting a fever and cold-like symptoms last Wednesday. He didn't go to school that Thursday. That night, he developed croup. He always seems to get the croup at least once a year. It's not fun when your child is having a hard time breathing. It's downright scary! But, after Ryan called in a steroid for him, he perked up and is doing fine now. Just has remnants of a runny nose and cough.
Raegan and I managed to stay well.....until yesterday. She started with a fever and fussiness. This morning, she woke up with major congestion. A little baby who can't breathe is just pitiful! I feel so bad for her. She still has her fever, tylenol doesn't do any good! She's too young for ibuprofen. So, I'm hoping her fever goes away today and we will fight off the cold. I have a cold now, as well. But, no sympathy for this mom. We never get sick days!
So, I'm hoping by next week, we will all be healthy. Boy, it's exhausting when your family is sick.
Some news....Raegan tried rice cereal a couple of days ago. She loved it! Here's a picture of her messy face. She's still figuring out the whole spoon thing. I remember when Brody first started eating, he knew exactly what to do. That child was born to eat!
