Sick week

Well, we are coming out of the sickest week our family has ever had. Every single one of the five of us had Influenza type A. The nice thing was we were sick all together so we just laid around and no one missed out on anything because of anyone else. :) In addition to the flu, I also had bronchitis. I was in the ER on Tuesday. Went in for a followup on Wed. with my dr and he said he was surprised they didn't keep me in the hosp. He said I "couldn't be sicker if I tried". Don't challenge me doc!!  Sick weeks can be hard, it was emotional for me because I felt like a bad mom to not be caring for my sick little ones. (who were just fine on their own and didn't need me, it was all mental) I hated my hubby being sick. He has never been that sick for that long. He was grumpy. :) Today has been a day of much cleaning and sanitizing trying to get this illness GONE so we can just move on. Pretty much everyone is better. I still having breathing issues if I try to do.. well, anything and I am pretty much exhausted just from getting out of bed, but that is also partially because of my other issues. I know this too shall pass and the coughing will go away and we will all remember "that time we were all so sick" (and probably blame Ethan with love because he was the first to get it.) Just trying to keep the positive in perspective.
1. No school all week!! (with the exception of Ethan that only missed 1 ACC class on Tuesday)
2. Quality time. (ok.. that might be pushing it a little)
3. Caught up on TV shows. (haha!)
I would also like to take this time to say how proud I am of my Ethan who got a 95 on his first French test at ACC. He is continuing to excel so much. Makes a mama proud!!! 
Ezekiel is still doing CAP and loves it very much. I see him growing in maturity and emotionally every day. God has given him such a gift for grace and love for others. I can't wait to see how He uses that in my dear Ez as an adult.
Asher, well he hasn't found his niche quite yet. :) He is so smart and does well at everything he chooses to do. He is happy and loving and smiley (although he would rather not kiss mom anymore so we are working on that) hehe
Ok that is us! Thanks for "listening"
Thank you God for getting us quickly over this nasty illness. Thank you for my family coming together and helping each other as we could as we were all recovering. Thank you that it wasn't any worse than it was. Thank you for the blessing of the school that Ethan is able to go to free for now. Thank you for the grace of him doing so well in it. Thank you for getting us involved with this CAP group for Ez. Thank you that he is enjoying it so much. Thank you for Asher. Thank you for his silly, fun loving ways. Thank you for creating family and for using it to teach us so much about our relationship with you and your love and care for us. Thank you for friends that are willing and able to pray for us in time of plenty and time of need.
