A Sick House

Sorry it has been awhile since the last post. This last week has been a bit rough on us. My Mum left, and had (or is having) the trip from hell on her way back to Africa, but more on that later. Levi (our maid) introduced a cold into the house last week, and we all got sick, everyone but Greg that is. Even my Mum caught the bug before she took off! Lily ran a fever for a few days and was a bit on the tired and crabby side, plus the congestion. She is all better now except for a little lingering tiredness and she still has a runny nose. I was the next to fall victim to the fever, congestion, cough, and sore throat, but I seem to be on the mend as well, hopefully last night was my last little bought with the fever. It was too much to hope for that Oliver would escape without catching the cold, but he too came down with a fever. His fever didn't last more than a day and night, but he is now seriously congested, which is worse than the fever because he wont sleep, which means that I can't sleep, which makes me a very crabby Mommy! Hopefully this won't last too much longer and we can all be back to our normal healthy sleep loving selves!
