Our Christmas Story...

This is what our kitchen countertop looks like right now...

Christmas ended up being quite eventful, in some good ways and some bad. Me and the kids had been sick all week with a "cold". None of us went to the doctor, but we all had horrible coughs, chills, and some major sinus issues. By Christmas Eve, Brian was feeling pretty bad, but we all thought we were on the mend. Until 2:20 a.m. Here's our Christmas day Story...

"It's 2:20 a.m. and I am suddenly awoken by the sound of a loud thud. My heart jumped out of my chest when I looked out in the hallway and saw my husband laying there on the floor, barely talking but telling me that he is incrediably exhausted and to call an ambulance. I jump out of the bed, run turn on the lights and search for my phone. In the mean time, he passes out. (he does have a tendancy to do that, so I knew once he passed out that it was going to be ok...kinda). He comes too as I am dialing 911 and asks "did you call an ambulance?" I told him I am in the process of dialing and he said not too. Whew! I was in such a panic. There was no way that I was going to let the ambulance take him off to the hospital with me but there is no way that I could have left my kids either. The other thought that was going through my mind was that our Christmas plans just came down crashing. Watching the kids see what Santa brought wasn't going to be fun and we had plans of visiting family all day. Thankfully, Brian was able to get back up in the bed and go back to sleep pretty quickly and he slept for a good 5 more hours. We were able to play with the kids Christmas morning and we ended up going to visit with our families. "

We both ended up going to the doctor on Monday and Brian tested positive for the flu. I am pretty sure that is what me and the kids had the week prior. All thanks to our littleist one, Ethan, who had it the week before. I, on the otherhand, managed to turn my flu into bronchitis. I guess that's what I get for not going to the doctor when I actually start feeling like death. I think I am a little offended that the doctor perscribed the "flu" patient perscription cough medicine, but the one that turns blue from coughing because of a minute long coughing fit gets OVER THE COUNTER cough syrup!! What?!?! Either way, we are starting to feel slightly better. We both are less pale looking, so hopefully tomorrow, we will be tons better!
