Right before they arrived Eli caught bronchitis, so when they arrived he was still recovering. The first day he was sick, it was terrible. He barely said a word for several hours and he kept throwing up from coughing so hard. He couldn't eat or drink a thing and all he could do was watch TV and sleep. It was so sad. After a doctor's visit, he had his 1st dose of antibiotics followed by a 2 hour nap and he already looked like a new boy! He was talking, playing, and eating. We were so relieved.
Then the following day I lost my voice and started getting really sick....a bad cough, congestion, non-stop runny nose, sinus pressure, and just sheer exhaustion. It was awful. Unfortunately, I was sick like that the whole time B's parents were in town, so I was not much of a hostess. Then on the 5th day of being sick (the day after B's parents left), I went to the doctor and I was told that I had bronchitis, too. After my first dose of antibiotics I already felt tons better...but what an awful 10 days leading up to Christmas!
Despite all the bouts with bronchitis, the kids still had a wonderful time with their grandparents! Elina even drew this adorable picture of her and her Halahbuji (Korean grandpa) when we went out for dinner...quite a resemblance, right?
We sure had a wonderful time!
