Alex is back to having a plain old ordinary cold after having a nasty case of Croup last week. I'd be thrilled that he's almost back to playdate condition, except that now Max has RSV AND an ear infection, so we're all stuck inside for at least another week, maybe two.
Thankfully Max's bronchiolitis isn't bad enough to land him in the hospital, yet anyway. He's just, you know, miserable. Wheezing and coughing and leaking goop from all of his head holes. His ear infection was only a minor one, but it was bad enough to have him crying non-stop for 48 hours, stop sleeping, eating and nursing. The antibiotic and numbing drops for his ear seem to already be helping him, as he slept pretty well last night, as for the RSV, we've just got to wait it out and give him Motrin for the fever.
John and I have been sick with colds for the last two weeks, and yesterday we both thought we were finally on the mend, but we both woke up back at square one, coughing, sniffling, sore throats and headaches. I suppose it was inevitable seeing as how we've been sharing our bed with two mucous covered petrie dishes of doom for the last week.
John's going to the doctor today, though I'm not sure it will do much good. I think he's just got a cold, but with his history of athsma, I suppose it's better for him to get his lungs listened to, just to make sure it's not something worse.
In other news, I posted my one month progress pictures at Bodies. I can kind of see the difference, enough to keep me motivated and excited to see what kind of changes another month might bring.

I think you got us sick ...via over the phone the other day. (I am sad to say it almost seems possible with how sick you all have been.) I hope that you will get better to help the boys finish getting better, I swear it seems like these sicknesses seem to drag on a little longer than usual now a days. Any who boil some water add lemon and honey with me....and here's to getting better.
