Sick children, Allergies and Summer

Isn't it amazing how you could possibly have sick children in the summer? I just never think of people being sick in the summer, it should be a winter thing. Well, no matter when I think it should or shouldn't be, it is now!! Poor baby Carissa Lynn is ill. She is so petite and sweet, it breaks my heart to see her ill. She had a very difficult night a few nights ago but seemed better and now has awoke with a fever and chills. The poor little thing was shaking trying to eat her cereal this morning. I know that cereal may not be the best thing for a ill child but Carissa Lynn needs her Cheerios every morning. She will have a second breakfast some morning if the family has something else. She is indeed a big cereal fan. Well Caleb is also down with a sore throat. I am not exactly sure where that came from but his allergies have been very bad lately so I thought I may be just irritated from dealing with the allergies. It is kind of funny because several of my family members wish to live in the country where there is more room to run but so many of them suffer from allergies in varying degrees that I think they would all be stuck in the house anyway. Ah.. Summer, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times........
