I'm sick of everyone being sick.

This winter has been brutal for our family, and many others from what I hear, being bombarded with ear infections, sinus infections, bronchitis, etc. etc. etc. Some of you know that Nathan had tubes put in his ears just before his 1st Birthday. Just a few days ago, he just finished up another antibiotic trying to get rid of another ear infection. This was actually his first one since his tubes fell out of his ears. (The tubes have been out for just a couple of months). Well, he had a check-up on Thursday, March 26th, with the ENT. He removed the tubes and a bunch of wax from his ear canal and discovered that the ear infection hasn't cleared up yet. So, here we go again, on another antibiotic to try to clear that infection up. This poor little guy has been on so much medicine lately, I can't believe he's still sick. Oh, by the way, did I mention that his nose is not really icky and he has a terrible cough. He has two more days left on this antibiotic and another appointment the ENT on April 10th. If the infection hasn't cleared up by then, he will have to get tubes again and the doctor said he would consider taking his adenoids out.

What fun! That's just Nathan's story.

Marissa has had numerous issues with ear infections, fluid in her ears and sinus infections. Her doctor just recently recommended that she see an ENT. There is one that comes to his office once a week or once every two weeks. She saw her and was told that she has dysfunctional Eustachian tubes. Meaning she's going to need tubes put in.

More fun!

Marissa is supposed to go on Wednesday, April 1st to get her tubes. We'll be praying that it will help her problem.

Andy has suffered with a terrible cough that just won't go away. He's had bronchitis and been on antibiotics. His cough has returned once again and has been sleeping on the couch so that I can get sleep. Usually when Nathan is sick, he wakes me up a couple of times during the night and Andy didn't want to wake me with his coughing. Thanks dear!

Now, Daniel is sick and who knows what's going on with him. But his doctor gave him a prescription a while ago to fill when needed. Well, I think that time is now. He's coughing like crazy (unfortunately waking me up a few times during the night). So, hopefully this antibiotic will help.

So, are you tired of hearing me rant about sickness and antibiotic? I know I am.

I would just ask that you all keep our family in prayer to get sickness out of our home. You have visited long enough. You aren't welcome any more!!!

Goodness, your household sounds like ours!! That cough - I've had it since October! Is that bad? LOL. Hope Marissa is doing better now with her tubes...hearing your story about Nathan makes me a little nervous. You hear some great stories about how they get the tubes and are good to go forever! Then of others who continually have problems. Can we get rid of this sick bug already!?!?!? Thanks for praying for us, and now that I hear you are in a similar boat, we will definitely keep you all in our prayers too!
