Remind me what season it is again...

They look well, but looks are deceiving

Let me just tell you what season it is in our house...it's apparently the season of the sick!! I totally thought we were past this. I was all relieved because I thought we had somehow made it December through February with no significant illnesses. Our pediatrician even recommended we postpone our 18-month and 4-year visits so that we weren't in the office when all of the sick kids were there. Done.

Stomach bug on her birthday

So much for all of my optimism. Around Easter our luck finally ran out. Since then we've been hit with the flu; a number of stomach bugs; hand, foot, mouth disease; tons of allergy related stuff; upper respiratory infection; sinus infection; and bronchitis. H Berry has asthma, so that typically makes things worse. I mean, what the heck? I give! 

Hand, foot, mouth on my birthday

I feel like spring is supposed to be this glorious thing where we enjoy the beautiful weather, the frost is generally gone and it's not yet ridiculously hot. I'm not really feeling the love at the moment. Here's to hoping things start looking up from here. Maybe we can all be well by the time BK returns on Thursday? Too much to ask?

Loving what it takes to get well

Of course, when I talked to him last night he mentioned, and attempted to show me, that he had approximately 20 mosquito bites on his ankles. Apparently these are from an open air restaurant where they had dinner. All I can hope now is that he doesn't bring home Dengue Fever. Again. But that's another story for another time.
