Never have I more despised cold and flu season as I do this year. We
average 2 doctor visits per kid, per year. One well check and one sick
visit.
So far, in the past 30 days, we have gone 4 times! 4 TIMES!! That's
four times in the waiting rooms surrounded by sniffles and coughs and
goodness knows what else, 4 times of being weighed and measured and
inspected, 4 times of dropping off and picking up prescriptions
. We have fought pink eye, ear infections, bronchitis and pneumonia.
Both kids have done multiple rounds of antibiotics, I have done more
laundry and used more Clorox wipes than in the past 6 months combined.
Spring felt like it was just around the corner, but now it seems like an eternity!
Fortunately, Ethan will be out of school for 2 weeks at the end of the
month and we're out of here!! Give all the germs time to die off, all
the kids in class time to heal, and a much needed vacation!!
We did manage to celebrate a birthday during all this crazy sickness though... Here's a pic of the party animals (neither were actually party animals that night though)
