I know it has been along time since I have posted anything. I just haven't felt much like doing it and nothing has really been going on. Shon has been sick for a while, about a week actually. He has taken the last two days off work, which he never does. It started out as a little annoying cold and just had gotten worse and kept hanging on. I know he is sick of being sick. Ty has also been sick. He started coughing about a week ago, which isn't unusual for him. Because he had asthma, he gets coughy even if he isn't sick. But on Saturday he got a really high fever. Sunday it was worse so I took him to the doctor and they told me he had influenza. Now I didn't ask her but now wonder if the flu is different than influenza. Anyway we have to let it run it's course. He has been one sick little boy that coughs all of the time. Today his fever came down a bit and he actually looked alot better. But that cough. My mom told me, and I can actually remember this, that I did this as a kid. Coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed. I think he spends about 90% of the time coughing. Right now it is 12:43 am and I can't sleep because I just listen to him cough. Medicine doesn't seem to touch it, oil that my mom gave me doesn't either and neither does vicks. I just spent about 10 minutes outside in the cold with him in a blanket to see if that would help. I don't know what to do. It really stresses me out. At least I know that his lungs are clear and that he doens't have pnenomia, but oh the coughing. I feel so bad for him. So sorry that you who are reading this have to hear about my complaints. Any ideas??
Cam is almost walking. He gets so excited to go that he doesn't wait to get his balance. But he gets braver and nore steady everyday. I think that he would really like walking if he would do it. He doesn't like to try very much, gives up to soon. It's okay though. Less bumps and bruises, right.
I am really trying to loose weight right now. I really watch what I eat and excercise everyday. Yesterday I really wanted a big, juicy hamburger with onion rings, but I didn't. I really don't like dieting, but I love feeling better about myself. So wish me luck and send encouraging thoughts my way.
I don't even have any pictures to post. So here is a video of us trying to help Cam walk.

Oh, I really really really love that kid!!! He is sooo close. He sill be doing it soon. Thanks for the post. We love you, and hope Ty's cough goes away soon.
Very cute! They grow up so quickly. Hope to see you guys soon.
Poor Tyler, and poorer Mother. I wish that there was a magic solution, but I know that you are doing all you can. I'm glad that my little grandboys have such a good mother to care for them.
Oh, so sorry you have had a sick family! Have you tried the Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of his feet with socks over it? I know that sounds insane, but I read it off the internet and it actually worked on Garrett & my hubby. Can't hurt to try if he's still coughing all night. I hope he gets well soon and you all get some sleep! Good luck!
