You've probably heard of 'little house of horrors'? Well....in a very related kind of way...we are the 'little house of horrors' this week! Seriously, we have some sick stuff happening here!
Poor Eli started on Friday night...about seven, getting incredibly onery and fussy. By ten he was burning a fever and totally dillusional. He would cry "I want my momma" and when I'd try to reassure him I was right here he'd say, "no!!!! my REAL momma!" He asked over and over again where we were and if we could go home...all night long, where's my momma? where's my momma? He stared screaming with ear pain and by morning his ear had nasty stuff oozing out. The doc thinks it may have ruptured, and he's got a double ear infection. Much better now with the help of some high powered antibiotics that our insurance company didn't pay for! Don't worry, I'm plenty cranky still, it didn't wear off, and I'll be calling them first thing tomorrow morning!
Poor Landri! She has had this dang cold now for who knows how long! I asked the dr to examine her yesterday but because I hadn't checked her in officially, she did a quick look at the ears and said she was fine. Well, today her eyes, which have been puffy and watery for weeks, are crusty. Both ears are seriously oozing. And her nose is a disaster. She's so miserable...poor thing. I finally got a hold of said dr who authorized me to give her some of Eli's meds and she'll have her own, shiney $80 bottle tomorrow. Dang insurance better be over its little glitch baby.
And then there's me. I've had a toothache all week. The kind that flattens ya. Now my ear hurts, and I've had the chills today, as well as the most delightful outbreak of fever blisters on my mouth.
I think we're looking remarkable. Very photo-op ready.
Here's to hoping that the next week brings LOTS of sunshine to shoooo cootie season out the door!
