In a nutshell...

Just a few little facts about the DeBorde household this week:

1. 3 out of 4 DeBordes are presently sick, luckily I am the one that is well, as I am the caregiver.

2. 3 out of 4 DeBordes have asthma, yep you guessed it, I am the one that does not, luckily because I am the medicator and caregiver of the other 3.

3. 3 out of 4 DeBordes are presently wheezing and coughing their butts off, you know how this goes, I am not coughing nor wheezing.

4. Reagan has been the sickest, she eeked passed the horror of being put in the hospital yesterday, her pulse oxygen level was at 86 when I got her to the doctor. I didn't drag my feet on this, she had symptoms Sunday and was at the doctor's office Monday!

5. A steroid injection in the butt of a 5 year old, HURTS!!!!! It was awful, but very beneficial kept her sore hiney out of the hospital.

6. 2 out of 4 DeBordes are home sick today and tomorrow, any ideas, we have watched movies, colored a card board playhouse, played Mario Cart, snacked, lots of hot apple cider...natives are restless.

7. The drugs used to treat asthma make the individual shaky, hyper, out of control, remember my restless natives? Well now they are restless and on steroids!

8. 1 non-sick DeBorde is very thankful for an awesome doctor (Shannon Hayes) who stepped up yesterday when Reagan's Pulmonologist's office was closed for MLK! If she hadn't been quick and aggressive, I KNOW I wouldn't be home blogging right now. I am also thankful that the girls will get past this very soon & many are a lot sicker than they are.

9. Lastly, the one non-sick DeBorde is secretly enjoying having the girls home, I wish they felt better, but its been kind of nice. Morgan got to watch the Inauguration today!

10. We all 4 wish you a happy week, & lots to be thankful for as well!

***For all of you that we were with this past weekend, I really hope they don't get any of you sick, sorry!

Keri, that sounds awful! Poor little things (and no, that doesn't include Rusty- he he). Give them tons of hugs and kisses from me. I hope they're feeling better soon- for theirs and mommy's sake :)
