Recovery


This week has been a rebuilding week for us . . .

Daddy was home for 1 day and we took a family trip to the doc - status:
  • Dad - strep throat, but doing much better
  • Sam - minor remains of ear infection so 5 more days of antibiotics
  • Marlie - immune system of steel - doing great, no issues
  • Mom - strep again . . . antibiotics not working, back to doc on Friday, fluid on the ear and switched antibiotics, by Friday night 24hrs of stabbing pain in the ear ended in a trip to the ER and some shots of antibiotics, steroids, more antibiotics, painkillers (thank goodness someone finally understood the pain and saw the amount of fluid that apparently was bulging out my ear!!!), and $190 numbing ear drops (thanks to Children's for helping us meet our deductible so now all of this stupid shit is FREE!!!)
Of course, Daddy is gone again, but we have been lucky enough to have Grandma and Uncle Eric around . . . and our hospital aides, I mean our neighbors, I mean our friends that always seem to be around to help when we need it!!!!!!

So I have concluded that this house is just damn infected and I can't spray enough Lysol - so time to get out to a clean house - done, moving day is Friday!! Hence the pic - Sam is feeling better, and Marlie has not been sick - so I am letting them pack the rest of the house . . . the only thing left is toys anyway!

Woah. So you took a trip to the ER for yourself this time?! It's telling that your deductible has been met within the first quarter of 2010...
