Quarantined

The last week has been exhausting.  We've been running our own hospital wing.  Zoe had a stomach bug last Tuesday, which lasted exactly 18 hours.  After which she was a ball of energy that only 18 hours of rest can create. 

About that time I came down with a sinus infection.  I'm not sure what happens to other people when they get one, but I become totally incoherent, confused and a non-member of society.  It was like I was in my own world and couldn't get out, despite the fact that I knew I sounded utterly drugged.  It's a very odd feeling.  It lasted three days since I couldn't get into the doctor right away.

By Friday I was feeling normal, except for the pounding headache.  Which is exactly the time Zoe woke up gasping for breath.  Nothing will trigger a panic attack than hearing your child unable to breathe.  We ran outside to see if that would help and sure enough she was better.  We have officially experienced croup. 

I'm really hoping this week is better.  No headaches, no snot, no coughing and no puking.  Here's to health!
