On the Mend

Well, the children are FINALLY all feeling better. I know this reprieve will probably only last a short while but I am still so very thankful! I was at home all last week with Kayleigh and her nasty RSV. She has responded well to treatment and is right as rain now. I let her go back to daycare yesterday, which I'm sure just means the next thing is coming, but for now we're good.

Grace had RSV too, but hers wasn't nearly as bad, she was back to normal within just a few days. Cole man has been going strong the whole time :)

But of course we can't just all be well, now the dog is sick. Yes, the dog. Bailey is our 8 yr old boxer that Tim and I got right after we were married. He is old, but he's always been so spry! But he came in a few nights ago and he looked like a skeleton, limping, front paw swollen and struggling to breath.

Honestly, I thought we were at the end - but not without a fight. I started soaking down his food with warm water to make it easy to eat, adding some other things to help bulk him up and did some handy online research - you can really find ANYTHING on the internet...

He's not 100% yet but he's on the mend now. Swelling is doing better, limp is about gone and he's acting more like himself. Hopefully, he's got a few more good years in him!
