Four nights with Allison (and Mommy) being awake for hours coughing
Three days of being stranded at the house (except for a visit to the doctor and pharmacy)
Two little girls with horrible coughs, fever, and ear infections
Equals One frazzled, stir crazy Mommy!!!!
I guess I should not complain. Considering how cold and snowy it has been this winter, we have been blessed to have a relatively healthy season. When I took the girls to the doctor Monday, the nurse said to me, "Allison looks like she has the flu." Fortunately she did not have the flu, just a very mild ear infection developing with her nasty cold. Poor Lauren's ear infection was pretty bad the nurse said. Lauren's cough sounds so bad even today. Allison finally slept last night all the way through until 4:45 am when Bill got up. She did go back to sleep after I gave her another dose of Triaminic. Both girls still had fevers this morning, but when I took their temperatures at lunch time, they were both back to normal. I've been giving Tylenol and Motrin round the clock for ear pain and fever. I had to make a chart to keep up with the times I was giving all the pain relievers and cold medicine.....and antibiotic because I could not keep it straight!!
Fevers came back in the late afternoon. Guess we will spend another day at home!!
On a happy note only 17 more days until moving day!!!!

So sorry that you girls have been under the weather :( It isn't much fun being stuck inside. Hope the fevers stay away and the girls are better soon. Yeah for moving very soon!
