Where Have We Been?

Sick! Sick! Sick! It all started just before Christmas, and it is still dragging on. Strep, Bronchitis, some weird virus, and ear infections have been circulating through this house. Kenna bared the worst of it. A week ago Monday she started to cough and run a low grade fever. That night she ran 104.3 at one point. After blood work & a chest x-ray, they finally confirmed she had bilateral bronchitis, tonsilitis, and double ear infections. She was one very sick baby. She fought dehydration at the end and came desperately close to an IV. Thanks to my mom helping we were able to pull her back. She is still fighting one ear infection on oral antibiodics, and I take her back Monday to have it checked. At this point she HATES the doctor's office, and it is major drama when we go. Can't really blame her though.

Bella has fought cough and congestion for several weeks. She caught some virus while Kenna was sick and ended up on antibiodics again for an ear infection. She is doing better, but still coughing. I kept her home from school today. It was her first day back from Christmas break, but just couldn't bear to get her or Kenna out in the 20 degree weather.

Daddy was sick too with strep and bronchitis at the beginning of all this. He is doing fine now, but felt pretty yucky for several days.

We also manged to share our bugs with Aunt Laura, G, and Grandma.

And I must have an immune system of steele. Through all this, I have managed to only suffer a little sinus drainage and some clear fluid behind the ears that I am being treated for.

As soon as we are looking cute again we will post some pictures. I owe Granny a picture of my new chair.
