Sick Kids
Yesterday we had to take Luke back to the doctor since he wasn't getting better. His cold has developed into an ear infection and his fever has been fluctuating around 100-101. The good thing about the fever is that he is very mellow and just wants to lay around and snuggle. I can handle that! At least he's not bouncing off the walls.
Lexie went to the doctor on Friday and has a double ear infection. She's doing better and only has a low-grade fever. She just keeps waking up twice a night needing medicine, and Luke at least once. I'm tired but hanging in there.
The tylenol definitely helps with the fever; and benadryl has helped dry up all the mucus and runny noses, not to mention helping them sleep. (We should probably buy stock in tylenol, benadryl and amoxicillin!)
After a second round of antibiotics, my bronchitis is almost gone. I guess I had it pretty bad since it's lasted 3 weeks now. Marty is coughing now, so we're praying he doesn't need antibiotics, too. Please pray that we can all be healthy soon, especially in time for Christmas!

I thought of something that might be helpful to your family this morning after reading this post yesterday. I hope you don't think I'm butting in! Are you familiar with the amazing success many are having using Xylitol in clearing up ear infections? www.xclear.com is one solution - a nasal wash that prevents ear infections that has been used with great success with infants. Older children can take it in tablet form, but I thought of this for your baby. Ask for an info sheet at your local health food store if you are interested - I don't know if you are near Huber Heights, but Nutra Foods is a great place for information and help. the owner is a Christian and very very helpful. Since multiple ear infections are strongly linked with reading/learning and behavior issues later on, it might be something to look into.
