Tate was such a great caretaker. He seemed to really know that Kathryn was sick, climbed onto the couch with her and slept there with her all night. He rarely left her side while we were home that week. He can be such a sweet pup.
We spent the last week with two sick children. Coughing, achy, fever, stuffy head...they were a living Nyquil commercial. Kaelyn suffered a lot with a high fever, and both had an obnoxious cough. I'm used to Kathryn coughing, but Kaelyn hacking was a new and quite unpleasant experience. Kathryn was treated with her nebulizer, and we even attempted a treatment for Kaelyn too...you can't totally tell, but she FREAKED OUT! She said it tasted disgusting, and refused to keep the mask on. Tim and I ended up using the inhaler with the spacer that Kathryn had when she was a baby. It took both of us to hold her down, but while she was screaming, she inhaled the medication nicely...and it worked wonders!
We do not know if this was the Swine flu or not, but after missing a week of work, I hope we're on the mend for the winter!!
