We had Aoife in hospital with a rashy virusy thing for a week, then a few days later they both came down with the worlds worst cold - at least I think it's a cold, but Aoife's breathing is crap and she has a rash and we've been to emergancy twice in the last couple of days and today the only crummy doc who could see us prescribed antibiotics - which is what he's done every time I've seen him, hence the adjective crummy. So now that I've used your blog to winge I might try to write something a bit more upbeat on my own! Sorry for O's ill health, and your resultant irritation / fed-upness / general crappy time!

Glad the tank is still rolling. I’d like to wish Oscar a firm “happy birthday” for the lovely head cold both my husband and I are still enjoying.

My kids have been through big sickness cycles too - they'd get one thing and then when they were recovering BAM, they'd get something else. I always decide that's time to take it easy and Lsyol the house, but we're still not exactly a healthy people. Poor little munchkin!

Sorry your vacation wasn't the sunshine, bunnies, and wine you were hoping for. Glad to hear O is over the worst though. Those were very appropriate pajamas Oscar was wearing!

My ten year old had bronchiolitis only once and it was awful. Do you have a home nebulizer??? We had one for years and it kept the worst of the worst at bay. Finally, my daughter had weezing of the worst sort for several years but never ended up with asthma. Ask your pediatrician about singulair--it's a great preventative medication, especially at O's age. Hang in there! Oh Bon, poor you. My ten year old had bronchiolitis only once and it was awful.

Many nights I have stared at my kiddie through the cold metal bars of his hospital cell, wishing for a different outcome, a bottle of wine and a handsome doctor to play with. Sadly I got none of my wishes. But fingers and toes crossed that this is O's last time behind those bars. Smooches. Poor O, poor Bon.

Poor Oscar! Poor you! "All my children", sick. These are the "Days of our lives." Sorry, couldn't pass up a good soap opera reference! This certainly didn’t qualify as a vacation! Poor Oscar!

“All my children”, sick. These are the “Days of our lives.” Sorry, couldn’t pass up a good soap opera reference!

We'd open all the windows for moisture and "sleep" in our freezing cold bedroom while he buzzed around on baby steroid climbing all over us. Ah, general hospital, the toddler years. hope the cold disappears soon! ugh, how awful, we had a weird run on croup for a while with our first where it was every cold like clock-work and he’ go right for the scary stridor breathing, which means his airway was closing -eventually our doctor let us keep steroids for him at our house to save time and money.

I earned the honour of always ruining family vacations by getting sick when I was young. And the last time? Two years ago? When we tried to take a family vacation for the first time in, oh, 15 years? Yup...threw up on the bus home from Universal Studios (but then, who wouldn't throw up on the way home from Universal Studios?). Glad to hear O's on the mend. Any chance your boss (snicker) will call them child-care days and give you a real vacation? You should talk to my parents.

Blech...poor all of you. I'll never forget the time Liam, at 13 months, got horribly ill in Athens and we spent hours in a ridiculously crowded ER--me with vomit all over my shirtfront.
