Things happen in three's

In our house three stands for Gabe, Gabriel and Isabella.  After telling Gabe he needs to go to the doctor for four days he relented this morning.  He finally believed there was something more than just a virus holding him down.  We figured he had a sinus infection and we would get some antibiotic and decongestant.  NOPE, Gabe has pneumonia.  What?  Yes, the big guy has pneumonia.
This automatically set Gabe and I into panic mode.  Gabriel has been sick for two weeks with the same symptoms and Isabella has had them for a week.  We were last a the doctor for Gabriel 10 days ago and for Isabella 14 days ago.  Everyone has the same stuffy nose, the same nasty cough and high temperatures off and on.  Gabriel was put on antibiotic 10 days ago, his symptoms have decreased but they are still there. 
I dropped Gabe off at home and grabbed the kids and my father-in-law into the Pathfinder and headed out to the ready care.
We waited at the ready care for about a hour and a half before being informed that it would be another three hours before we were seen because they had two cases of RSV and were busy taking care of those little ones.   We drove to three other ready cares to see if they could see us, nope.
Needless to say we will be hitting up the ready care at 9am when they open.  I hope I am over reacting and the kids are just fine with their snotty noses and coughs.  I know I will worry until they are checked out and given a clean bill of health.

Mom, I am fine!  That was not me coughing it was Isabella!

I am NOT sick!  My nose isn't running, it is jogging!

Isabella is the sick one.  Tell the doctor she needs a shot just like daddy had to have today!
