It started with Beazy. The Charleston trip did not agree with her. We didn't do a lot of sleeping. Then she cried every time we put her in her car seat. She was always worried we were going on another long trip.
That got her nose to start running. Then she started getting a suspicious rash. We went to the doctor and they confirmed hand, foot, and mouth, and a sinus infection, AND a double ear infection. Not to mention she was cutting two new teeth (perhaps helped along by the tumble she took last week that tore her frenulum). Poor baby.
Then June didn't feel well either. We both came down with sore throats and fevers. We moped around for a day then went to the doctor because we were afraid it might be strep.
As it turned out we both had sinus and ear infections. The nurse said she was surprised June's eardrums hadn't popped. Poor Junie must have been in a lot of pain.
But yeah for antibiotics!
We were feeling good again in just a few days. We made sure help ourselves along by getting ourselves plenty of slushies. I'm pretty sure that's what made the difference.
(In our week of bad luck, Henry also managed to knock his head pretty hard on a monkey bar. He had a serious goose egg that warranted calling our doctor for the 3rd Friday night in a row. What is it with these kids? Why do we only get sick and hurt on weekend nights?)
The healthy members of our family did the smart thing and got out of the house. Dad, Henry and Georgie went down to Huntington Beach to go camping with our friends.
They had a really fun time, but I'm pretty sure it got awfully cold at night. I didn't regret missing that part.
I didn't get many pictures out of Brandon, but I do know that Georgie was awfully tired when it was over.
