I am happy to report a few things. Josh escaped the dreaded flu bug, Lennon made a very quick and energetic recovery, and I am much better, although the cough still lingers.
Colton, well that's another story. The poor kid started the whole circuit and is taking us out with a bang. After a few nervous nights and two trips to the doctor we were finally correctly diagnosed with pneumonia. Thankfully he is not so bad off to be in the hospital, he actually went to school Thursday and Friday. His asthma has always been our toughest battle, but pneumonia is a whole new fight. No parent should have to see their child in so much pain just trying to breath or lay down. We are on the path to recovery with heavy duty antibiotics, plenty of fluids and some extra rest. I admire him for how well he has faced all of this. X-rays, 4 hours at the doctor's office, a trip to the ER in the middle of the night (in minus 16 degree weather) and through it all he has remained utterly patient with his crazy nervous parents and over-energetic sister.
In the midst of all of the sickness, he has not forgot is birthday. Today, we plan his party. So far he has decided on a rock n'roll theme with 7 friends. Food proved easy enough for him: fruit salad, mini-pumpkin muffins, cheese and crackers, and Dad's "famous" guitar cake. Now I just have to figure out how to rock out the house and keep this kids occupied!
