After my last post, Youngest kept getting sicker. We kept going to the doctor but they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Meanwhile she kept getting sicker. Finally today, we found out she has a bad case of walking pneumonia, right before our annual beach trip. Oldest has also been diagnosed with beginning pnemuonia. Both are now on heavy duty meds. I've been surrounded by sick, whiny, crying children at home and sick, whiny, crying students at school. Hopefully now with medication, the girls will all get better. I really hope so. I haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks and this continuous cycle of sickness in the house has made me absolutely miserable.
So my inability to blog and visit my favorite blogs has now been explained. I have no idea how much longer I will be out of commission. But I can only hope and pray that Youngest and Oldest both get completely better soon so they are no longer so miserable.

I'm so sorry. It really hurts a parent when their kid is ill. I remember it, though I only had one so never had two sick ones at once. I did have once where both Mary and Josh were sick. It takes a toll. I hope things improve soon.
I'm sending white light your way.
Oh, I do hope they are feeling better soon. I'm sure they will be with the medicines. Now, don't you get sick!
I'm so sorry, Ello. These things happen and, with kids, it's even more difficult because you can get a feeling of helplessness. Stay strong and healthy! They will get well soon! I hope you can still go to the beach - that air, full of sea salts, would do them very good.
There's a little award for you at my blog, to cheer you up... :-)
poor ello. we're rooting for ya.
Ello, such misery is hard to bear in one of your children...but two? That's beyond bearing. When you aren't sleeping, and still having to work, everything is just compounded exponentially. I'm so, so sorry you are dealing with this, and my thoughts and good wishes are with your girls, and you.
my prayers for the speedy recovery of both...
i will ask my apache friend in california to set up a prayer circle for their full recovery
it has worked before, many times
do take care of YOU, as well....
that sounds awful, ello. the poor bubs, and POOR MOMMY! *hugs* i'm always miserable when everyone else is sick in the fam, because we are the main caregiver! *hugs* i hope the girls are on their way to a speedy recovery.
you deserve a nice spa treatment after all this!
So sorry to hear this. As laughingwolf says, do remember to look after yourself in the midst of this. Hope everyone is on the mend soon.
Ell,
Do take care of yourself in all this. Hoping for a speedy recovery for all.
I'm glad we're down to our last "in house" child. Of course, if she gets sick in the next year, I'm not the one who has to deal with it...but I'll surely hear about it!
I wish a big "Get Well Soon!" to both your little ones. Hang in there.
hope stuff turns around for you all!! uggh..no fun..at any time of the year!
shamanic and other prayer circles set in motion, my friend, for your whole family....
Big, smiley, furry, warm hugs to you and yours. It is awful when everyone's ill. You swing between pissed off and worried sick - no fun at all. The meds will work and everyone will recover quickly. Then you put your feet up and have a big rest on you beach holiday. You've earned it.
Healthy vibes on their way to you. xxx
I hope everyone gets well soon.
Stay strong.
Ello,
I hope everyone gets well soon. I always feel a bit down when mine are sick. Hope things turn around soon.
*runs through ello's site waving SAVE ELLO banner*
think of the children!
think of poor moms with sick
children!!
Oh, poor you and your children. It's horrid when the kiddies get ill. Hope everyone gets better soon and your household is restored once more to its usual chaos! :)
here's to good health for all...
So is that new medication for you or the girls? Valium might help - you!
best wishes!
I hope you and your family are feeling better! Miss you!

Ello, this is so bad. If I were there, I would babysit for you. (I've probably got enough fart jokes myself to keep Angus well occupied.) Meanwhile, I send you my best -- and a virtual foot rub, too.
This happened to us once, when we'd already booked our holiday accomodation: one kid had severe gastroenteritis and just as she was starting to recover from that, the other one got chicken pox. It was really no joke.
Wow, Ell, I hope everyone gets better soon.
I'm keeping good thoughts & well wishes for all y'all (which is a perfectly cromulent word, here in the South.) Take care!
Good Lord, El. What a mess for you and yours. I know that cycle thing hits sometimes - and it's a bear when it does.
Here's to coming out on the other side!
Ah, poor Dears, poor Ello, poor family.
Oh my gosh, that sucks. I came here to check on you and see this. I hope the medicine has worked some magic and your little ones are feel 100% better! Big hugs to you, Tired Momma.
What's the deal with this walking pneumonia? We have people at work that have been taken down and out with this - I haven't heard about this much of this stuff in a long time.
Your little cuites- hope they're loads and loads better now!
