EVERY February...

We get so incredibly ready for spring...okay we will even take the sun shining at ALL!!

Jenna started our sickness this year...well at least anything serious. We have had a few minor colds and such since Jake's bout with the hospital, but nothing that bad. Thursday the 11th Jenna just wasn't quite right. I could just tell there was something a bit more wrong than the average cold, so into the doctor we went. Sure enough, pneumonia. They drew blood, gave her a shot of Rocefin and sent us out the door for a 10 day antibiotic course. The 15th, Jenna fell, split her head open and got staples. My turn; The 18th I couldn't even swallow anything so I decided it was time to go to the doctor. Strep and sent us on our way with a 10 day antibiotic course. Tuesday, Anthony has a high fever, didn't sleep the night before, could hardly catch his breath. Went to the doctor; strep with some bronchitis. He luckily got a 5 day course of antibiotics and some awesome cough syrup. We got Jenna's staples out too. Yesterday, Jenna had a fever of 103* so we took her in. They didn't want her to have antibiotics this close to her last round, since we just stopped it on Sunday so we are just watching and waiting to see how she does. Today she has been great and then the next minute not so good. Jake has been fighting two colds within this time frame too....glad he doesn't have to go on antibiotics! YIKES!!

So needless to say, we are ready for it to get warm and burn all these bugs away!! Thank heaven we are all still okay and that we didn't have to make any hospital trips this time around. We are still blessed in so many ways, just need a few blessings in the health department ;)!

Here is to SPRING!!!
