~Record highs this Flu Season~

In the history of Mercy Hospital there have never been such 

a high number of Influenza cases being admitted; lucky Travis, he's on emergency medicine this month... so he's stayed busy. 

And at home... we've also had the flu. 

Long story short, for weeks we've been sick, and occasionally have enough energy to get up and do a few things here and there. 

We celebrated Valentines day at home real low-key. 

Travis's schedule this month has had him working 12pm-12am so he's been able to take the boys out on dates, and my sweet neighbor watched Aaron the other night so Maddix and I could go on a date and attend his school's : Trolls Movie Night. I made him get all dressed up, I got dressed up, he opened my door, and held my hand, and we shared a bag of popcorn; he was a wonderful little date. 

One day during the week Travis was able to go to Maddix's school and have lunch time with him; they encourage the parents to drop in whenever they can and share a lunch with the kids. Maddix loved showing off his dad. 

Today Maddix and I are still sick, but Travis and Aaron have recovered, so they took a lunch date and little Aaron was SO excited when he saw Travis getting ready to leave, "We get to go on a date? with Me? And You? Together? YES!" 

We've also been enjoying Mondays as they're Travis's day off so he gets to pick Maddix up from school, the boys all play lego star wars in the evening, we have F.H.E and then Grandpa Vaughn has been face timing and reading with the boys just before bed; he even mailed out several bags of treats so they can choose one each Monday to open and eat while they read. 

Sick Aaron stayed asleep while I carried him to the car, strapped him in,
picked up Maddix, and carried him back into the house... 

I got to help with Maddix's Valentine's party:)

These two were covered in mud

Poor little sick guys; this is where I found
him reading while quarantined in his room.
