A Rough Week

Rylee got sick at the end of last week but seemed to be better over the weekend. By Tuesday night however, she was dehydrated and had a high fever, so Marc took her to the ER. He said that the doctor took one look at her and said, "I think we'll keep her here." So we spent a couple of days hanging out at the hospital. Rylee was significantly better by Wednesday night but wouldn't eat so they wouldn't let us go home. Thursday, even though she still wasn't eating, they said we could go home. Thank goodness...having a child in the hospital is exhausting. I'm not really sure what is so tiring about sitting in a room with your child all day but it was draining.

The kids actually thought it was pretty fun. For one they were mesmerized by the TV since it had cable and secondly, those hospital beds are so fun how they go up and down and up and down and up......

Unfortunately, on Wednesday, Sarah started with the same symptoms as Rylee. Fortunately, she is feeling better....no hospitalization required. Shortly after I took this picture of her snuggled up with her bear, she fell asleep on the couch (which I don't think she has EVER done!)

I think the girls are both feeling better and hopefully it won't run through the rest of us... isn't that just the best part of a big family? One gets sick and you get to look forward to several weeks of sickness as all the kids get the bug. Ugh!
