SiCk Stratz fam

Its been a rough couple weeks here at the Stratz house! I usually don't like to vent on my blog...but its just part of life, hu?! I know that all you moms out there can relate with me. Sick kids are the worst! I can't handle it! It all started about 3 weeks ago when I came down with a horrible cough that just kept getting worse! Of course, I don't go to the doctor until I literally can't breathe! When I finally got to urgent care, I found out I had a sinus infection and bronchitis! Yuck! So after a few days of antibiotics I was feeling...ok...just ok! Then I got a touch of the tummy bug on top of the flipping cough!! Then the next day Dave came home with the stomach bug as well! I quarantined him to our room and Lysoled the heck out of everything after he was better (24 hours later!) I was just waiting for the kids to get it right on Thanksgiving...luckily they didn't! I thought that we dodged the bullet!! So I am still not feeling up to par, very tired and wore out! Austyn woke up barfing last night at 12:30am and didn't stop until this morning at about 7:30 this morning. Every 30 minutes like clock work! I felt SO bad for the little guy!! So after cleaning carpets at 1:00am I was ready for bed! Well...Ayden was in bed with me after that coughing up a lung...all night! So Dave had to do barf duty! He was a trooper. Ayden felt a little better this morning, but by noon he was running a fever! Great! I always freak out about Ayden and fevers since he has febrile seizures! Ayden started his round of barfing around 5:00 this evening! So needless to say...I am in for a LONG night again...I can feel it! I hate this time of year just for this reason! I am just praying for us to be healthy for Christmas! Sorry for this long venting session, but I just had to! I feel much better now...thanks!haha

Here is Ayden at midnight....He is still all smiles even when he is sick! Notice all the towels he is laying on....that makes for easy clean up when he misses the garbage can!haha
