Four Strep Cases

The last few days have been marked with fevers, four sets of antibiotics two times a day, ibuprofen, lice shampoo treatments, washing EVERYTHING non-stop with hot water and drying those said items on hot, vacuuming tons, spraying down the house, meals, comforting, bloody noses, school . . . what? Um, that goes out the window when you are just trying to survive. I attempted to do some on Friday, and hoped to do some on Monday, but those plans were much too lofty for our situation.

Well, the boys ended up getting strep along with the girls and the girls and I needed to do the whole lice treatment, which took about three hours each. MyLove has been stripping down linens, running the washer and dryer and trying to stay on top of sick children with me. It has been a whirlwind.

Despite it all, my wee ones, we have had the joy and peace of the Lord. We were able to watch our church service live-streaming from home. MyLove and I have had some great talks and that was wonderful. You kiddos have enjoyed being couch potatoes, although you did mention that you would trade these marathon movie times for feeling better. 

Today, we got some schooling done and it was our first day doing Sonlight. It was great. So far, it seems like a great fit. We'll see how it goes.

I love you, my little sweeties. These times are hard with sickness and stress, but we'll get through it. Right now, even as I type, C is now coughing the seal cough . . .
