Maddie and Gabe are sick. Maddie is missing school today and Gabe is missing gymnastics. I felt pretty bad yesterday, but I feel much better today. Yesterday was pretty rough though. All I wanted to do was lay in bed and all they wanted to do was be all over me. I hate being sick, but I really hate it when I have to take care of other sick people too. Oh, the joys of motherhood.
Really, though, I feel pretty good today so I can't complain too much. I took Gabe to the doctor yesterday because every time he coughed it seemed like he was choking. He was coughing so hard. They gave him prescriptions for Steroids and Albuterol for our nebulizer. He's supposed to get 2 tsp of the steroids every morning for 3 mornings. I gave it to him yesterday when we got home and he instantly threw it back up. It was pretty gross. I seem to recall this happening last time he had to take a steroid too. I called the doctor to see what I should do and she said to mix it in with juice or milk. I did that, but the little stinker still wouldn't take it. I guess I'll just have to stick with the breathing treatments. I practically have to sit on him to get him to stay still enough to take it in.
We leave for Florida a week from today so we have to get better fast. Going on an airport with any kind of sinus problem is hell. It hurts so bad. Maddie and Gabe are excited about the airplane ride. Maddie has been talking about it quite a bit and Gabe has been flying his helicopters around. I can't wait to be in the warm sunshine. The high today in Orlando is 83 degrees. It's 72 degrees right now (9:30 a.m. EST). If you can count on the monthly forcast (which I know you can't) it's supposed to be between the mid 70's and low 80's the whole time we're there. Yeah!
