Being Sick

So, unfortunately Stew brought home a lovely cold from his current rotaion in pediatrics and everyone has been sick. Stew was the first one to start coughing and it has been downhill from there. If you can imagine, Stew was so sick he even missed a day of school! (those of you who do not know him, he has not missed a full day of school since he was in the 8th grade!!!) So, for him to miss a day of medical school is a big deal. Anyways, he started feeling better, just in time for both boys to develope the lovely cough. It sounds so horrible!! It's times like these that make me irritated at the irresponsible parents who made it so no one can give their children cough medicine anymore. I get to stay home all day with sick kids coughing, crying, noses running, fevers, no sleeping, the works and I cannot do anything for them. It is moments like these that being a mom is hard, I feel so bad for them all and wish I was the sick one and not them! However, my reason for posting eventhough I should be sleeping is that Tyler keeps helping us remember how sweet, simple and innocent children really are. Everytime one of us asks him, "Tyler, do you feel sick?" his response is, " No, I not sick, I want to be happy mommy." I just smile and say Ok, I want you to be happy also. So, to everyone and anyone who has had anything going around come through your house, we hope you feel better soon, and remember to be happy!
