House of Funk

And the sicknees continues...
Seriously, it has been the house of funk around here for weeks now. Upon returning from vacation, the first of the year, Audrey got sick. Next, I got the flu followed by strep throat. Then Jenny got a sinus infection and Audrey got ANOTHER cold. Then I got a cold. Now, Elliot has a fever, runny nose and it appears a sore throat (note Audrey is STILL sick with a pretty vicious cold). I'd say the hardest to deal with is poor Elliot. The entire time we were all getting sick we were able to spare her. We had family over to help care for the kids and for the entire duration of my funk I stayed locked in my room. It's just so hard when the littlest ones get sick. They can't talk and tell you exactly what is wrong and they don't understand. You can't explain it to them. This is the first time Elliot will be at the doctor for something other than a wellness appointment. And while I am ecstatic we have gone over 10 months without a sick visit I still hate that she has to go. Poor girl. If I hadn't had strep we would probably skip the doctor but I just want to be on the safe side of things and get her checked out.
Also, I'm pretty sure that I am totally allergic to the awesome antibiotics I'm taking for strep but I keep taking them. They are almost gone so there is no point in going back to the doctor now. The hives will go away eventually.
