Paging Dr. Mom
I wanted to apologize for not blogging for the past couple of weeks. I know that many of you are waiting to see finished projects, but it seems my children had other plans for me. Last week I was in the Emergency room with Sydney and 103 fever that wasn’t responding well to Tylenol. Diagnosis, ear infection. She’s doing much better since she has been put on antibiotics and has already been back to school last week. Now it’s Nick who is sick with a 102 fever. He’s responding better to fever reducers than Sydney was, but I will be hauling his behind into the doctors as the fever isn’t breaking and he is having chills as well. No ear pain, but he says his throat hurts when he yawns. It’s a little late in the season for the flu around here, possible but a little late. I suspect strep throat if it’s not the flu. Oh yeah… fun. I’ve had my hands full trying to get these two healthy again and hopefully by the end of the week, I will be able to do a decent post.
I do want to thank everyone for their comments… I haven’t had a chance to respond to them, I just wanted everyone to know that I’m not ignoring you!
Cross your fingers that no one else in the house comes down with Nick and Sydney’s cooties.. I’ve already had just about all I can take from this year’s flu and cold season. (We were hit 6 times.. yuck.) Until next time, stay healthy!

The flu season was rough in our area. We had that flu in Feb and then in March my girls got the cold, luckily me and my dh didn’t get that. My youngest had an ear infection about 2 weeks ago, was well as back in Feb. Those are rough. My daughter is almost 4 and it is hard for them to communicate what is going on.
I hope everyone feels better soon!!
Wishing you all good health!
Our flu season was late in the NE but we had people out of work for weeks trying to recover. I think it was a particularly nasty flu this year. As a mom, I know that you would rather be sick yourself than have sick kids. When my son is sick, his behavioral issues are particularly difficult for all of us. When he was little, we knew he was sick, not by his symptoms, but by his behavior. I hope you avoid the bug!
