Where are the Nelsons??

Answer: At the doctor's office

Man, we have not had a very healthy fall so far. The first week of the month Corey was sick with throat stuff and he got a fever virus. Poor baby ran fever of over 100 for 5 days. The second week it was Carley's turn. She had bad allergies and got sick. She also had an upset stomach. Her fever only lasted 2 days. The end of the week was Corey's well check. He is doing great. He got 3 shots plus a flu shot and he was puny over the weekend. The next week we were healthier, but Corey had a tube in his ear come out. We are having a new one put in next week. This week it was Corey again. He had a cough and cold virus and rubbed his green boogers into his eyes. Both of his eyes got an infection. It was really scary, they were both swollen shut this morning and he was terrified. Went back to the doctor and he got some meds and is much better. The amazing thing during all of this is that Corey has not had an ear infection in two months! This is very exciting! The irony is he goes back in for surgery next week to have a tube put in so his ear will hurt anyway. Go figure!

SO that makes:
5 doctor's appointments so far this month (only the 20th)
1 scheduled surgery
3 rounds of antibiotics
1 round of antibiotic eye drops
2 kids on Singular
2 kids on allergy medicine
one bottle of motrin consumed
0 weeks where I did not miss any work
0 weeks where we always slept through the night
0 weeks where the kids made it to daycare all 5 days
1 tired momma with
2 very sweet kids

I am ready for a good freeze, the allergies to get better, and 2 more motrin.

Who is with me?
