SICKNESS



Sickness has hit us hard the past few weeks. So the above products , soap and hand sanitizer have become an obsession of sorts for me.

It all started about 2 weeks ago, Ethan got a really bad cough,which went into pneumonia. All the other kids also got the cough, but that is all. Other than a week home with sick kids all then was well. Then Rachel got an ear infection last week. She is now doing great, we caught it really early.

Then Sunday night Brandon started running a fever and complained of a headache!!! So I took him in again on Monday morning and he tested positive for influenza. Yeah Us!

He has now been secluded in his room for almost 3 days and being such a good sport about it. We had lots of fun things planned for fall break this week, but now we are staying home.

Since we have been taking tons of precautions since everyone got sick the first time and now have added the lovely masks below, I am hoping beyond hope that it won't go through the whole family.

No fun to be sick over fall break!! :( My nephew just got over the flu last week & my sister made him wear a mask while he was coughing & running a fever & fortunately no one else in her house has caught it yet. Hope Brandon is feeling better soon!!!

I am so sorry that you guys got sick when you had so many fun things planned. I do hope that you are able to contain it and save everyone else from getting sick. Let me know if you need anything.

Holly's kids just did that for like 10 days last week! Yuck no fun. I keep praying for health. Yes my brother Ethan is in the cast at Hale Theater, let me know how it is, I'm really wanting to see it but not sure if I will make it.

sickness is hitting pretty hard this year, and it looks like the Wallace's have not escaped it. Hope everyone is feeling better.
