Holy Sickness!

Can someone dial up and order some REAL spring weather? This warm up, freeze up switcheroo thing is killing us ALL!
AnnaJoy got sick on Good Friday and didn't really get better until last Wednesday (sort of). She went to school Wednesday and was fine, exhausted enough that we kept her home from Sparks, but fine. Thursday morning she work up vomiting! AUGH! Then she started complained that her ear really hurt...hmmmm? Sure enough, flaming ear infection with puss and all! Poor thing. She is now on antibiotics. You should see her awful face as she tries to take it bravely! This weekend she had fevers both Saturday and Sunday!!! Today? Daddy got her off the bus, as they entered the house she was telling daddy that she had asked to come home all day (because she had a tummy ache)....GOOD GREIF!
Jacob got sick about 3 days after AnnaJoy, same stuff kind of thing, fever and general blahs! With Jake's illness came the sinus part! (YUCK!) and very messy! He had fevers from Easter Sunday on through until Friday. Now he just walks around with a kleenex in his pocket reminding us that he has a "notty nose" (he somehow lost the "s" in front of snotty!!) He is the only one in the house that sometimes has energy...although today he quit eating again and is very whiney again! AUGH!
Lucas got sick on Wednesday, except his started with the respiratory crud, then fever as well. He is having a real tough time with the cough and sinus drainage...I am a bit worried his ears may be causing him some trouble as he is not sleeping well at night! Even still today he is not eating well and is very, very sensitive...will cry at the drop of a hat! Very clingy indeed!
Mike got the sinus junk and achy body, but no fever around midweek and has been a saving grace for me, even though he doesn't feel great! Everyone has an awful "smokers" cough that just about rips your insides out.
Then there is me! I got a fever and the general achy "let me die" feeling on Thursday. Worked all night with it, Mike called in to care for the kids on Friday as I was pretty much dead, with a 104 temp all day. Saturday I also had fever and now an awful cough developing, still I had to work (as I am completely out of sick days). My coworkers were so awesome! They allowed me to do as minimal as I had to and still survive. I ended up leaving work early as I began to feel worse. Sunday I slept all day (or tried!) In the afternoon I questioned at one point if I should go to a med center...I called my good buddy, Meg, who is an Adult Nurse Practionner...she was at a conference in Tennessee but still took my call. (Thanks Meg!!!) She told me to sit tight and keep taking my antibiotics and motrin! At this point I knew there was NO way I could drive, much less wear a mask and try to stand for 12 hours trying to take care of the babies. So, I called in. I don't know what will happen, I have been told I will be councelled but who knows! Today I am still with a fever of 102, I feel like I have been in a couple car accidents in a row, and that my entire face has been shattered! Please pray that our family feels better soon! It's getting so frustrating for all of us. It is so hard to stay positive when we feel so bad!
We have a vacation planned for the beginning of Spring Break. We are going to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City on Saturday, I am hoping this will be a fun way to get into the groove and start enjoying life again! Sorry about the sobering update, no photos as the photographer is out ill until further notice. I guess for our family, March is going out like a very LOUD lion!
