What a crazy month and a half it's been in our household! All I can say is thank goodness everyone is FINALLY better (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood at this point). We have all had our fair share this winter of being sick and I absolutely don't wish it upon anyone.
Back in November I had gotten a major sinus infection and when you're pregnant you hesitate to take anything, even when the doc says it's okay. I fought through it for about a month and finally caved into the antibiotics, which was better for me and the baby. It took sometime, but I finally started feeling better in January. By that time Ethan had gotten a major ear infection right before his birthday, of course! I was home with him for a few days and then low and behold Robert got sick! What started out as a cold turned worse after about a week, finally on a Friday night he decided he couldn't take it anymore and decided to drive himself to the emergency room. I couldn't believe that he was sick. While he was at the emergency room at about 11pm Ethan woke up and had thrown up ALL OVER his room and I do mean all over. I wanted to cry at this point. My husband was in the emergency room with what he thought was strep throat, my son had thrown up everywhere and was obviously really sick and I am 5 months pregnant and tired! Well my adrenaline had kicked in at this point and thank goodness for my mommy instincts, although I think I was lacking a little bit because I was so tired. Ethan's little bug lasted a few days and Robert had been diagnosed with a viral infection. So we just had to march on. Well, by the next weekend Ethan was throwing up again and worse than before and Robert was sicker than a dog, was this truly happening to us? Four days of Ethan throwing up was enough to send me into a major panic, but thank goodness that when we got to the doctors office they said he was on the mend and to give him a couple more days to get better. I ended up sending Robert back to his "normal" doctor and he had bronchitis, go figure that they miss diagnosed him in the emergency room. He started antibiotics immediately and started feeling better rather quickly. Good thing because he had to go to a work convention in Las Vegas in a week and would never of made it being that sick. Finally everyone was healthy and I felt like we could finally breathe a sigh of relief...so I thought! A few days after Robert was home from Vegas he had the flu and was throwing up! I just threw my arms up in the air and started spraying a whole can of Lysol around the house. I kept Ethan and myself away from him for a few days because I didn't want either one of us getting what he had! Now I can say that we are finally healthy and hopefully it will stay this way, especially with our little Emily on her way.
Now that this nightmare is over I plan on posting more to our blog, especially since we're all healthy now (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood). I will be posting pics soon!
