Christmas last year was actually a pretty rough Christmas. The last day that the kids were in school Sup came home saying he wasn't feeling well. Later that night he got sick. We were planning on driving up to Michigan this year so I was hoping it was a quick moving virus.
A day or two later Thomas got hit with it. I was really hoping that they would be the only ones who got it as we were planning on leaving early Wednesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon Livvy started to get pretty sick. When I decided to take her into the urgent care that evening I got sick. At that point I wasn't sure when we were going to leave if we were able to. After taking Livvy in and being told it was a viral thing and she would get better in a few days, we decided to see what the morning had in store.
At this point all Livvy was interested in was nursing and with me being sick as well I was hoping it would actually help her out as well. The boys and Eric were doing well and Livvy and I were at least not puking so we headed out late morning. We got in late evening and I was doing better but Livvy had a hard night.
Christmas morning Eric got sick so he was able to stay in bed while we went and visited my Gramma and came back to my parents house. That night Livvy still was having a hard time and she had started to run a fever, so the day after Christmas we headed over to our in-laws for a blessing and then went to the Peds ER. After spending pretty much the whole day in the ER with test, we again were told she had a viral thing and to watch her. Not the news we wanted but we were both wiped out from our illness and she was still not looking good and throwing up at least once a day. Hence with all of this going on I didn't get any pictures of us while we were in Michigan.
We left for home to celebrate our Christmas and prepare for Eric to get his wisdom teeth out on New Years Eve. We got in late and the next day we did our Christmas at home. Livvy was still not doing well and was not interested in her Christmas stuff at all.
The boys were able to enjoy all parts of their Christmas both in Michigan and at home. They seemed to really bounce back quick and had it early enough were they had a good experience. They really enjoyed everything they got and were able to play and enjoy them throughout their Christmas break.
I was able to get her into her doctor and He was able to diagnose her witan upper respiratory infection thankfully! After starting on her medicine we saw her energy level and her disposition improve dramatically. We were so happy to have our sweet Livvy back.
The boys love to have sleepovers in the family room, and they got new sleeping bags from Gramma and Papa so they decided to have a sleepover night during Christmas break. This way they could test our their new bags. So with some snacks and a movie they had a fun night.
