Week 40 was quite the week in the Koceich home. Sam had to be rushed to Cook Children's by ambulance last Friday when he woke up from nap with a barky cough which turned into not being able to breath. He could barely get any air in or out. I waited in the street for the ambulance and they quickly got us on the cot thing (what's it called), had a breathing treatment and oxygen going and off we went. It was quite scary. So a little over a week and two 72 hour steroid treatments later he is doing much better. Max ended up with a severe sinus infection and is on a 5 day on, 5 day off, 5 day on steroid treatment himself. Oh, yeah...and both Abby and Max had a 24 tummy bug this week too. Fun times at the Koceich abode for sure! But, we are counting our blessings that we were able to get the care we needed and all of our kids are healthy! Counting our blessings for sure!!

So, there were no pictures this week. But, a friend texted this picture of Madison running in a cross country meet this week! I'm so proud of her! She is working hard and pushing herself!!! Love seeing determination on her face when she hits the final stretch to the finish line!!! Go Madison!!!
