Sick of being Sick

Well here we are again. This past Thursday we took Sophia to the doctors and guess what? Go ahead guess. Yep, that's right an EAR INFECTION. When Sarah asked the Pediatrician about this and why the tubes weren't working as we expected, she asked what we had expected. Well we expected that there wouldn't be any more ear infections. We were corrected, the tubes are there to help the ears drain. Ear infections are still possible, but can be less painful, etc. So we accepted this and started thinking of ways to help her limit the infections. However, before we could get to far, Thursday night to be exact, Sarah said she wasn't feeling well. What, this can't be, so she went to the doctors on Friday and has a throat infection, most likely Strep. I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Figuring we only had two legs and two shoes I figured we were through it. For those of you that know us well, we call ourselves the Griswalds. You know the Chevy Chase led family that always had everything go wrong. Well that's us. Whether it be a vacation trip, a trip to the grocery or just our plain 'ole luck we have the same outcomes. Back to the two legs and two shoes. In the Griswald family, er Contino family, there are three legs and three shoes. The third shoe dropping was that on Friday night I took my temperature and I had a fever.

Here we are Sunday night and Sarah is feeling better, but not the best. Sophia has had to make a return trip to the doctors because she is still running 103+ degree temperatures and cranky as hell! So the pediatrician says the ears looked infected but not really that bad so we just changed her antibiotics. I am staying home tomorrow and going to see a doctor myself. Anyone seen any good medical masks on sale. I think we are going to need to buy in bulk. Maybe lather ourselves in sanitizer each morning too.

This post might sound desparate or whining, but it's not. I am actually laughing at how we like to live our lives. It's never a dull moment. Until next time.................
