The Crud Has Begun.......

Well the school year has just began and already the crud is going around. At the football game Friday night there was alot of coughing kids. One kid in particular had a nasty hack. Of course that is one of the kids Seth was hanging out with.

His best friend could not come to the game as he is battling pneumonia. The nasty hacker was absent yesterday from school. And Seth lasted all of two hours before calling me to come get him.

On our way home we picked up the secret ingredient for our yummy sick concoctions. Then made up some orange juice from frozen concentrate.

And he has been downing them one glass after another. With a glass of water in between. We are all about flushing those bad bugs out.

Fill the glass 2/3 way full of orange juice.

Add in 7up til full.

Drink. Drink. And drink some more.

It tastes so good and it really helps for a cold. Being it tastes good the kids will drink alot of it.

Even if you have a tender tummy to oj, try it. Some people say it works for them with the 7up in it.

Back to Seth. He was a miserable pup all day and more so into the evening. Low grade fever and nasty cough.

It was quite late and he fell asleep in the chair.Then moved to the couch. I finally got him to bed propped up on pillows and under a thick layer of blankets. He slept through the night like that and is still asleep.

I am hoping he does not need to see the doc today. Hopefully it is just the common cold. Hopefully sleep and a bunch of those yummy concoctions will get him thru this.

**UPDATE** Seth woke up feeling alot better. Still has a cough but is talking about going back to school tomorrow. He will continue to drink the mixed drinks and try to keep it a moving out!
