Notes from the sick house

So I'm making an effort to update more often....unfortunately, I don't have anything fun to write about.

We've certainly started 2012 off the same way we ended it. Sick.
Colby missed the first week of school with pink eye and strep.
I just started my antibiotic for strep yesterday. Just got over pink eye.

Poor little Miller had what we thought was a virus, but after a fever or 103 (with Motrin) we rushed her to the doctor and it's a severe ear infection. Here she is after her appointment (blurry phone picture), 8:30 PM, high fever, waiting patiently for her daddy to bring her a Dairy Queen ice cream cone (which she did not eat).



Later that night, when we took her temperature, it was 104. Highest I've ever seen on her and again, that was an hour after she had taken Motrin. We set the alarm for an hour later and checked her temperature every 30 minutes or so until it started to come down. Thankfully, an hour later it came down and we all went to sleep.

This morning things were much better. Her fever is down, and her personality is coming back.

How many more weeks till Spring?
