Sickness

Our new year is off to a slow beat (note - no posts thus far!) & there still isn't much to post about. The end of January found us all (except Erik) sick: fever for mommy, fever for Annika & Kaarin...Annika woke up one night crying that her ear hurt, & she cried & cried most of the night.:( The tylenol really only gave her about an hour of relief, so we really needed to get to the Dr.! I called first thing in the morning, & they didn't have anything until 1:00 p.m. due to the Dr. being out of the office all morning. So, we took it...& sure enough, she had an ear infection. After a long wait for her antibiotic (I had it sent to Target, who closes for lunch from 1:30-2:00, so we had to wait until they opened again...Annika fell asleep at Target, in my arms) everyone went down for a nap. Kaarin slept until 6:00 p.m. & woke up with a fever & went downhill from there. I called the Dr. first thing in the morning & got in much earlier.:) After visiting the Dr. & dropping off her prescription, we went to get some lunch while we waited. And what do you know? KELLEN started crying that HIS ear hurt! We had not been gone from the Dr. more than 20 minutes!! So, back we went, & YES - he had an ear infection too!!!!! Crazy. I guess the good thing about being sick at the same time is that everyone is wanting to do the same thing...rest! So we did. Kaarin has a double ear infection now, just 3 weeks after the last one. Poor baby! Hopefully we can get through the rest of this season (snow & all!) healthy.
