Can we just get back to normal?

Never fails, when you get one child healthy, the other becomes sick.  It wouldn't be possible to have them sick at the same time!  I have now taken off a total of 5 days from work and JC has taken off 2.  Kiley is healthy, and now Ally is sick.  However, Ally just finished off a round of antibiotics a week ago.  I have called the pediatrician 3 times this week, they continue to tell  me to wait it out because what Ally has is more than likely viral!  So, while I am waiting, dear sweet hubby, finally caved and took himself to the doctor on Thursday--Bronchitis and Strep!  I am heading to the doctor myself today before I get any worse!  It is not easy taking care of the family when you don't feel well, and we won't even talk about the way the house looks (UGH!).  I don't think Moms should be allowed to get sick--we should just be immunized to sickness!  Anyway.....Hopefully, we will all be functioning normal soon.  My only fear is that Ally's will progress to something more...let's keep our fingers crossed!

Update:
Well, I took myself to the doctor and you can probably guess, that yes, I was also positive for Strep.  While leaving the doctor's office, the daycare called to tell me that Ally had once again spiked a fever.  I immediately called the pediatrician's office, who was so kind to check Ally at 4pm on a Friday.  I am so glad they were able to see her.  Her ear infections (from 2 weeks ago) did not clear up from the first round of antibiotics and she also had strep along with some wheezing.  Our beautiful weekend plans were quickly canceled as we worked on mending our family back to health.  Now, we cross our fingers in hopes that Kiley does not "catch" it again....since she is already off her antibiotic!  Wow-STREP is NASTY!!  Stay healthy everyone!

  1. Oh, Brandy. I feel your pain. We keep alternating between sick kids (just took Will back to the dr. this morning and he has a flu-like virus now). It's exhausting! Sounds like you guys have been hit hard. Hoping you get healthy soon! I HATE this time of year. Summer please get here soon....
