Sick babies

And yes, I'm including my 3 year old in that title. My poor babies are sick. But surprisingly enough, they're VERY cheerful for being so sick!!!

Matthew, about a week and 1/2 ago, had this really phlemmy cough, and fever. We forged thru it w/o going to the doctor (although I was tempted, I figured I was just being a paranoid mommy) ;) , and it seemed as though he was getting better. Then on Wednesday afternoon, Hannah spiked a fever, and got the same cough as her brother. ARG. Thursday, she seemed to get worse, and on Friday, was even sicker. And then Matthew spiked his fever again, and the cough came back to him.

So off to the doctor we went. But wait! Tim had duty on Friday, so of course we COULDN'T go, b/c he had the Jeep, and my car is STILL not working. Ugh. So I called my mom, and she came out and got us. We finally left here about 8:00 Friday night, and got to the ER at 9ish. We were seen by 10:00, and as soon as the dr came in the room and looked in Matthew's ears, he said "I know why you guys are here!" He asked if Matthew had been complaining about his ears, or tugging at them or anything, and I told him no. Turns out my boy is quite a trooper, b/c he has not one, but a DOUBLE ear infection. :( So he was prescribed some ammoxicilin (YUMMY!). Then the doctor looked in Hannah's ears, and she has a single ear infection, PLUS she has early bronchiolitis. So she's on Ammoxicilin, and an inhaler for her nasty cough. I have to put Vicks on her and Matthew at night, and use a cool mist humidifier in Hannah's room.

So, we're stuck indoors until they fight off this bug that's plaguing them. Poor babies. :(
