Sick, Sick, Sick

And we do not like it, not one little bit...

Since a little before Christmas, the kids have been sick. It's never been this bad for Michael (granted he's only 11mos old) and for Elise, it's been about a couple of years. First, Elise and the rest of us came down with a cold. Then Michael came down with an awful ear infection. Following, he had a viral rash, medicine, an allergic reaction to medicine (scary!!), and then somehow, eczema? (Not a lot of snow and a whole lot of frigid weather = dry skin, apparently) Then, Elise came down with the virus, which caused us to pull out the nebulizer - she was having sporadic, long-lasting coughing fits. Thankfully, with the antibiotics, the cough has completely gone away and she's almost fully recovered. It was scary, though, for a little bit (we had no idea what was going on with her, since her symptoms were so different than Michael's).

Michael is cutting a ton of teeth, right now, so he's in a lot of pain, but other than this (as hectic as it was), it's not terrible for never, ever being sick :)

And yes, I think we are the MVP's (most valuable patients) for Upper Valley Pediatrics :)
