Sick

This month has been miserable in the Dalton household. I think we have all been sick at one time or another. It all started one Sunday afternoon when Lilly started crying that her ear hurt and wanted the pink medicine in the fridge. that's how we knew she was sick. Chad took her to the doctor and lo and behold she had a double ear infection and bronchitis. Round 1 antibiotics for Lilly. Wednesday of the same week, Braxton got sent home from school with an eye infection. It wasn't pink eye, but the same cold virus had moved into his eye. Ear infection and eye infection. Round 2 antibiotics. Sunday I finally decided that I had had enough and had my mom take me to the doctor. Diagnosis: Ear Infection, Eye Infection, and Sinus Infection. Round 3 antibiotics. Chad never went to the doctor, but has had the cough and stuffy nose just like the rest of us. We have gone through a lot of nyquil at our house! The next week it seemed that everybody might be on the mend.
However, while sitting in our Friday meeting at work, school called. Braxton had thrown up at school, on a little girl. He felt so horrible! I took him home and he was sick the rest of the day. We spent the weekend quarantined and he seemed fine all weekend. Chad and Braxton had Monday off for President's Day. Braxton was fine all day, then he threw up again Monday night. Another day home from school on Tuesday. Here it is the next week and I think we are *knock on wood* on the mend. Let's hope so, Braxton's birthday party is in less than 2 weeks, and I want him to be 100% for his party!
