Bad Medical JuJu happening in our house

We having been dealing with sickness for almost a month now at our house. It can stop any time. Right after we got back from our visiting Naing's family in Canada, Alec came down with bronchitis. He went to the Dr. a few days after his coughing started because he wasn't getting better. So on antibiotics he went for 10 days.

Two days later, Haven starts coughing and having difficulty catching her breathe and then the "barking" cough started. Yep the croup had arrived at our house. So off to emergency with her I went. She got a dose of steroids and charmed all the nurses. She was so tired the next day that she actually took a 3 hour nap. But she recovered fast.

I thought things were back to normal. Kids back in gymnastics. Alec started swim lessons and then BAM.
Last night Alec broke his arm. He fell out of the "play and pack" as we call it, climbing out or he got his arm caught and broke it and then fell out. We weren't in the room so I don't what happened first. Poor little man when he wasn't settling down and wouldn't move his arm off to the emergency I went with him. He was such a trouper. Did so well with the wait (It was a full moon weekend) and his x-ray. He even did really well with the splint being put on. Today was the hard day. He was hurting today and the Motrin wears off too fast. He can't suck his fingers because of the way the splint was put on. So he can't self soothe himself. That was the worst thing about the day. He kept getting so mad and demanding I take it off. Poor little guy. He will have to have a cast put on in a few days. Our pediatrician is so wonderful! I emailed him the digital x-ray and he is going to do the casting for us, so we don't have to go to the specialist and wait to get in there. Also he thinks he can get his hands on waterproof casting, so Alec can continue his swim lessons next week.

I think we have had enough sickness and injuries now...the bad juju can move on elsewhere now.

Here are a few pictures of our trip and Alec's swim lessons.

At the Bocock's family friends. Naing worked for them in college. Kids not wanting to sit still.

Got a good one.

Alec excited to be included in the big boy's party. His cousin had a soccer party while we were visiting.
