a family on the mend....

Well, I hope so anyway.... I am optimistic we will turn a corner soon since the boys have been sick a week (since thanksgiving) and I was sick the week prior...and Patrick is STILL trying to kick his cold as well....

I am writing this update as I sit and watch and listen to Murphy breath at 3AM...listening carefully for a wheeze or shortness of breath... I cringe at every cough. Tonight we found out Murphy as RSV... a trip to the ER is how we spent our late night while the majority of this time zone slept. As always we were greeted by the kindest nurses... Loudoun INOVA hasn't lost their kindness...and for that I am thankful.

We started our day in the same ER....but with Sullivan....he too is sick with a cough, ear infections and an all around awful cold. He received fluids via IV and breathing treatments to bring up his oxygen levels before they would allow him to go home....Patrick was a real trooper hanging with the Sullivan while I held down the fort at home with Murphy & Henry.

So tonight it was my turn....

On a funny note, this morning when Patrick was leaving for the hospital...all three of the boys were crying...sullivan because breathing hurts, henry because he didn't want sullivan to leave and poor little murphy because he was feeling worse and worse..... at this point Patrick turned to me and said...so you ready for a 4th?! He is a funny guy....

To be honest, I'd love a 4th... :)
