Our season of...sickness

And these are only the current medicine bottles. I'd hate to see the picture of meds everyone has been on since the fall. This has been our life since November. At least, I feel like this has been our life. Two rounds of tummy bugs, countless colds, 3 sinus infections, 3 ear infections, and now the FLU! Thankfully, we made it through the week of Christmas with everyone being relatively healthy :-) Mommy sent LOTS of prayers upward with that request. Currently, though, Mommy and Daddy have sinus infections, Caden has an ear infection(with an ENT consultation for tubes next week), and Ethan has the flu :-(

We just came back from the doctor and even though he got his shot, poor little guy has the flu. He's such a champ, though! No complaining, just a 104 temp., coughing, sneezing, sniffling, sore throat, ears hurting, watery eyes, and chills. I think he has every right to complain! But not him, he just wants to sit under his blanket and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or have a conversation with you :-)We're praying that we can keep him and Caden separated so that Caden will not catch it but since little brother's favorite thing to do is follow big brother around, I'm not so sure that will be successful. And considering that Mommy and Daddy didn't get their flu shot like we kept saying that we were, we're pretty much suckers for a lovely experience ahead. I can only hope that I'll be as much of a trooper as Ethan has been!

Here's to hoping that winter ends quickly and we can ALL be healthy again!
