A black year

So I have posted about this before, (Sickly) but it has gotten worse. Somehow we are super sick yet again. I really believe that we have had every major illness in our house this year when it comes to our kids, and a few from Kyle and I. I really think the only one we have not had is RSV (Yes I am knocking on 20 pieces of wood right now).
Carson has now come down with Croup and Pneumonia. I still am not even sure how either! Sunday morning he was totally and completely fine. He started acting a little off at dinner time and I wondered if he was getting sick. He had a slight fever and slight cough when he went to bed. He was a little sick in the morning but nothing major. He quickly went down hill, so I took him to the doctor (even thought I thought they would think i was crazy for bringing him in when he had been sick less than 24 hours!) Anyways his fever was 104.8 and his oxygen was down to 90%. So after a couple of round of antibiotics and a steroid shot he is hopefully on the mend.
The reason I post this though is that is has been a REALLY hard sick year! It is just hard when kids are sick! Especially Carson, the whiniest child alive when he is sick! But I was asking my doctor about it and he said a lot of times you will have a year when you all your kids are really sick and catch everything. Then you'll have a break for a few years after that. I don't know if it is really true, but I am desperately hoping this black year is over and we are on the up side of staying healthy!
