This fall season has been rough on the Smith household in the way of illnesses. It all started with Maleah coming down with Strep Throat a week before going to the beach in September. She was well for maybe a week after her antibiotics then she got an ordinary cold. We got her cleared up then Connor started with one. At that point it all becomes fuzzy, but I can say we've been fighting it all off since. About 2 weeks ago, I developed a sinus infection so off to the doctor I went for antibiotics. I figured since I had to blow a half day of work, I might as well squeeze Maleah into her doctor too. As it turned out, Maleah had a double ear infection, probably a sinus infection AND pink eye! She's been on an anitbiotic since last Tuesday so I figured we were out of the woods with her being sick, but just when I assumed she were on the mends, BAMB... she started with intestinal flu... I was up Sunday morning at 3:30 changing bed sheets, blankets, jammies... You name it she messed on it. Yesterday she was fine through the day, but bedtime came and I heard the unmistakable cough that every mother dreads hearing. Yep, she was spitting up again. Today she isn't spitting up but it's coming out the other end. Poor Maleah, I can't get this girl better!
Looking back on the day when dealing with just one cold a year (of my own) never looked so appealing!
