Things have gone from bad to worse in the continuing saga of what has become one illness after the other. By 10 pm last night both kids were miserable. Our son screamed in apparent pain all night long, only interrupted by intense coughing fits. Our daughter spent the night hacking away and wheezing. We debated whether or not to take them to the ER, but ultimately decided to wait until the morning.
So, this morning after both kids woke up with their eyes glued shut, we felt it was time for a jaunt down to Urgent Care. Long story short, both kids have pink eye in BOTH eyes, both have ear infections in one ear each, and daughter has bronchitis. Additionally, she has wiped her nose so much that she has rubbed her skin completely raw and it is now scabbed and bloody. She refers to it as her "red stache" since it spans across her upper lip, cheek to cheek. Between the two of them they are on 8 medications for the next 10 days. Wonderful!!!
As a result of all the illness I will be making an appearance at the family reunion tonight alone. Kind of a bummer because the kids were really looking forward to meeting their new cousins and I know my extended family was eager to see them as well. I can only hope they will be well enough to participate in some of the festivities over the coming week. I would assume some of the 8 medications could make a dent in the germs that are currently attacking their little bodies.
