What the Sick?

Our little family has been trading sick days for the past couple of weeks. Ben was first, then me, then Troy, then Ben, then me, and now it's Troy's turn again. BLAH. What's funny is that this second round we don't have the same sicknesses. Ben, we think, got food poisoning last week. I had the stomach flu on Tuesday and lost enough weight in water that my doctor was wondering why I weighed the same as I did a month ago. Stomach flu was the answer. Troy has more of a cold. His throat is inflamed enough to the point that he's had a hard time breathing. His little raspy voice and laugh touches my heart. He is a little more clingy when he's sick but he is still sweet little Troy that just wants to play all day. He just has to sleep a lot more. We bought a humidifier last night and baby Vicks (thanks to Ben at midnight) which has helped Troy's ability to sleep. Thank heavens.

Today I am sterilizing our house and buying obscene amounts of hand sanitizer. In fact, I should probably clean this keyboard...

It probably won't keep all of the illnesses away, but I hope it helps a little. I'm ready for a sick free week again. I am more grateful for our healthy bodies though, that's for sure.

We are very excited for General Conference! Come on weekend, we are ready.
