Well, I think we are on the road to recovery, but not without enduring on of the toughest weekends in the history of the
Schrock family. Above is the medications our family was on over the weekend. We all have to take the
remainder of our medicine for the rest of the week. The girls got better about taking their
meds, but still put up a little fight. Heather and I did not get much sleep this weekend and I had to stay home from work because it was just too much for one person to handle. Thursday night Heather and I got about 4 hours COMBINED sleep. With both girls spiking fevers, it was an all night observation party for Heather and I. Friday night was more of the same.
Dylanne started feeling a bit better but
Micheala was spiking fevers of 103. By Saturday,
Dylanne was doing much better, but
Micheala was pretty crabby and still spiking fevers. However, Heather woke up a bit sick and I was fighting off headaches and a sore body all day. I don't think I was sick, just exhausted from watching over the girls. Sunday was a better day all around, I had a few headaches and Heather was feeling sick to her stomach all day. All in all, I think we're on our way to healthier happy days!
As promised, here are some pictures of the new edition to our family, Pink(y).
Dylanne chose the all pink cage and accessories (of course). Pink uses a fish head
koozy as one of her hideouts. She also has may treats including
yogurt and fresh vegetables. She has a ball that we put her into so that she can run around on the floor.
Dylanne has done an excellent job taking care of her and is very eager to get the chance to hold her. As some of you may have noticed, we have a child safe lock on the cage door so that the girls don't get any ideas and try to let Pink out without adult supervision.
Finally, a rare photo of the girls feeling better this Sunday evening. If you can see,
Dylanne has chapped lips and it looks like she has a "Hitler style"
mustache. I learned a lot this weekend about patience. Seeing your family so helpless against the sickness really makes you struggle emotionally. Being trapped in the house with a sick family makes you struggle psychologically. We didn't want to pass along the illness, so we isolated ourselves from others. We eventually had to take a drive today to get some fresh air. i think we went through a thousand cans of disinfectant spray and a thousand gallons of germ-x hand sanitizer. I can also add that I have
officially seen every cartoon movie ever made.......twice! Thank God, spring is on the way!
