Struggling With Sickness Once Again

Our family has been sick on and off, mostly on, since mid-summer.  Right now, everyone in our home, including the dog, is under the weather.

Bunky has been on antibiotics since last week, and, now, Punky is as well, after a trip to the doctor this afternoon.  They have ear infections in both ears.  Punky’s fever spiked at 102.6 last night, but I am hoping that he will rest better tonight with some antibiotics and fever-reducing medicine in him.

I was very sick over the weekend, and my loving husband helped me take the day off and rest in bed.  Bunky spent all morning and part of the afternoon in bed with me.  He is such a sweet bunkmate.  I love that little guy.  Even though he was sick as well, he was a pleasure to cuddle and play with.  I am still coughing a lot and having trouble sleeping at night, but propping up pillows does help a bit. I think all of my coughing has pushed the germies over to my hubby’s side of the bed, and he is now struggling with a slight cold as well.

Spunky has had a cold for about a week, but it isn’t anything more than that.  She seems to be doing fine; although, she’s been acting a little bit “punkier” in the last few days, so I hope that wears off when the cold makes its way our of our home.

I’ve opened the windows and tomorrow I plan to clean every inch of the house in the hopes that this sickness will end this week.  We have so much to look forward to in the coming days that I was everyone to feel well so that they can participate in all the wonderful services this weekend.

If you wouldn’t mind, please say a prayer for our entire family.
