boogers, boogers and more boogers

Oh my, if these cold germs and boogers do not leave my house I may just have to!!! I'm so over it. In Dec it all started with Av. She had a cough for weeks and it finally got bad enough that I took her in. They gave her that lovely pink stuff and on our way we went. Last week Camille started so off to the doctors I took her. She had a cold and the start of a double ear infection so she got some of the lovely pink stuff. She is pretty much better but Av started again. UGH!! So back to the doctors we went. I of course had to take all 3 and that in itself is another blog post but the doctors office is the last place you want to be when you are trying to get rid of germs. After using antibacterial stuff like 30 times we finally got out of there. Yes Av needed more meds so we got the white stuff this time. Hope it helps her fast and the girls finally get over this but then the most tragic thing happened. Everett started coughing. Hearing a sweet innocent 3 month old cough is probably one of the saddest things ever. It is pitiful. Last night you could just tell he felt awful but he still tried to be the happy boy he always is. At one point John said, "he just smile-coughed." The poor boy is so congested he cannot even attempt to breath out of his nose so that it is making nursing impossible. After a good amount of saline drops and the blue booger sucker we finally got him able to nose breath long enough so he could have a good morning feeding. Now him and John are sound asleep up in our bed while I deal with some girl boogers. Lucky me. Don't worry Kleenex the Hoekstras are keeping you in business!!!
