What a Week!

Last Wednesday, Trent came down with croup. We tried all the home remedies for it, but they didn't seem to be working. On Thursday night, Jesse took Trent into the after hours clinic because he was having trouble breathing. He received a steroid shot and breathing treatments and was in the hospital for two days. It was chaotic as Sean nurses every two hours and I didn't have a stockpile of milk on hand. Jesse spent two days in the hospital with Trent and I drove back and forth between home and the hospital. We didn't want to bring Sean to the hospital out of fear that he'd get sick. On Saturday, Trent came home. His cough was a lot more productive and we thought things were getting better. Then the stomach bug kicked in. He started throwing up. By Tuesday, Jesse had caught the bug. By Wednesday, I had it too. Thankfully, we're all feeling better today. And so far, knock on wood/fingers crossed, the baby has managed to avoid both the croup and the stomach bug. I have been cleaning like crazy trying to make sure the house is germ free. I would love to go a long while before having another week like this past one!
