I keep thinking that maybe my life will slow down just a little bit and I can get back to writing and reading blogs regularly. Maybe that time is closer than I think. But for now, I will be blogging in fits and starts. Here a little, there a little. And so if you are one of my "blogging buddies" and haven't seen me lately, don't be surprised if you get some comments from me on some very old posts...
I'll get there sooner or later. I'm not dead, yet!

It's Official
Maddox is 7 months old today, and he has crawled for the first time! He's been trying for a while...
I guess he's in a hurry to keep up with his older brothers and sisters.

Verdict
Well, we have made our doctor visit for the day.
Maddox - Didn't go because he's been pretty good all day. A little runny, a little cough - nothing to worry about.
Connor - Has bronchitis, but his throat and ears look okay.
Kelsey - Has some serious bronchitis with very little air flowing through her lungs. Has a double ear infection. Has a sinus infection and a very red throat.
Both kids are on an antibiotic, a steroid (which we won't start till tomorrow since it tends to make kids wired), and a lovely cough suppressant with codeine. I'm looking forward to a better night.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Can you guess what extra gift I got for Mother's Day this year?
Well, yes, I did fly out to see my mom in California. But that's not it. I'll tell you about that later.
And yes, I did get breakfast in bed, cards from the kids, and handmade gifts (all of which I loved). But that's not it, either.
I'll give you a hint: Connor gave me his extra gift on Saturday, and Kelsey gave me hers about 3am Sunday morning.
Yep. It was sick kiddos. We've had fevers, runny noses, and a lot of *cough cough* going on around here. We thought we had it licked by Sunday night when fevers were going down. Except for Kelsey's *cough cough* that she had all that night. Then yesterday BOTH Connor and Kelsey gave me a *cough cough puke* present, though fortunately not at the same time. And last night Kelsey still couldn't stop coughing. She couldn't sleep and all I heard for hours was *cough cough*.
So around midnight I moved her out to the couch in a sitting position and after listening to her cough some more went to Walgreens to talk to the pharmacist about cough suppressants. Since I'd already given her Delsym and her allergy medicine there was nothing else I could do except take her to the doctor to make sure she doesn't have bronchitis. So I bought her some non-menthol cough drops and came home. She was fast asleep (finally!) so I let her be.
Guess what's on our schedule this afternoon? A doctor visit for Kelsey, Connor and possibly Maddox. All are coughing, but only Kelsey and Connor have the fevers. And no one is coughing as badly as Kelsey. Her only relief comes in the form of hot, steamy showers.
I hope I don't get so many presents next year. I'm sure they hope so, too.
