Poor us!
What a week. Oh man, what a week!! Starting Monday, sickness entered this house and attacked Abby. She coughed and sneezed and was generally miserable. Stephen and Jake soon followed (moaning as only boys can) and I quickly brought up the rear. We've gone through loads of tissues and we each have a red-tipped nose to prove it.
Stephen has missed two shifts at work and I have missed one and a meeting.

Although we are all still coughing and wiping our noses, we finally feel like we're on the upside of this most aggressive bug. Abby's chest still rattles and Jake's still coughing, but they are so much easier to live with and care for than they were a day or two ago.
Sarah, Stephen's middle daughter, and her fiance arrive her from Edmonton tomorrow. We're all looking forward to seeing them again. We just hope that we won't be infecting them with anything!
