Infirmary

It's been WAY too long since I've posted anything and I apologize. The Jackson household has been a true infirmary these past three weeks.

Right before Christmas, Mr. Man was hit with a nasty trach infection which was followed by the flu. Not just any flu, mind you, but a real nasty, last for several weeks, kind of flu. It was so bad, in fact, that we have been to urgent care once, seen the pediatrician twice, and have contemplated checking Noah into the hospital. Bubs' flu has lead to strep throat which has just knocked him out...vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, nausea, runny nose, excessive secretions, and fever of 102.8. Mr. Stinkpot has not slept through the night since before Christmas, thus, neither have we.

As if this isn't enough, Kc caught a cold last week and developed an ear infection. Seriously?!? An adult with an ear infection?!? Yep!

So...we've both been struggling to keep our heads {and ears} above water while we take care of our sick Little Man. I think I have been struggling most of all. Heading to work every morning and leaving my sick Bubs is just breaking my heart. Watching him cry, sign "Mama", and reach out for me is just heart wrenching. I have been having a hard time being upbeat and patient with my students at work and an even harder time being loving and supportive to my hubby at the end of the day. I pray every night that I am filled with love and patience while Noah is filled with strength and healing.
