The Sickies

Cailin and Carter haven't been feeling well. In a strange role-reversal, I got a cold last weekend and gave it to the kids. Since then Cailin has been having a terrible time going to bed. Ryan mentioned he thought her ears might hurt. Then she told me her ears hurt and was crying a lot. I phoned the doctor and tried to shush Cailin's crying while I was on the phone, but it seemed to have helped my case because they told me to come in for a visit within 30 minutes.

She has ear/throat infections. And she's back on the foulest medicine I've ever seen/smelled/tasted. I won't compare the taste to what I want to compare it to. It's just BAAAAAD. The doc also told us if she gets one more throat infection before her birthday, he's going to recommend her tonsils get removed. Yeah, I don't know about that.

Poor Carter is sickies too. His throat is red and his wee nose is running. Despite feeling sick, he's still been the happiest baby on earth.
Looks like someone's Advil kicked in. Heh.
We've been watching a lot of movies and enjoying the sunshine through the window. We've also taken up residence on the couch/fort/tent/tunnel/play area for the next foreseeable future. Hope everyone feels better soon, we've got a walking track and water park to explore.
