The Bobka Plague


We've been really sick this winter.  I think everyone has.  I'm throwing a pity party for us though because we've been EXTRA sick.  We all had the flu in the beginning of December and let me tell you, I seriously thought I was dying.  Everyone had better pray that I don't ever get a terminal illness because I am a A+ wuss!  I really don't think I've ever been that sick in my life.  Baine didn't know what to do with himself.  He would literally just throw his body around, flailing his arms and everything!  Poor kid.  Brady just went to work everyday.  I seriously don't know how he did it.  It took us over a week to get better and then a couple of weeks later we all got a cold.  Not horrible but still pretty bad.  Then a couple of weeks later me and Baine got the flu yet again.  It wasn't as bad this time.  We had temperatures and after 3 days of Baine having a temperature of 103 I knew I had to try something big or take him to the Dr.  I did a detox bath with epsom salt and doterra oils.  I put him in the bath around 7.  Let him soak for a 1/2 hour.  I didn't wash him because I wanted to let it sit on his skin.  I went up and checked him temperature around 10:30 and it was all the way down to 97 degrees! 

Who knows if it's those oils or if it was luck.  It just makes me mad that I've seen these oils work for my family but yet it takes us 2 different flu's and Baine to be on his 3rd day of a fever for me to finally break out the oils.  Even Brady was convinced after this one.  Maybe he'll stop calling me the witch doctor.
