Corbin started the fun with a cold and partying with me all night Saturday night, thrashing around the bed "ouch ears" I knew the dreadful was happening. Unfortuntely, the Dr.'s office was closed on Sunday (obedient people!). But, I got around a Dr's visit. My friend (foot doctor) wrote him a prescription. Walgreens saved the day! Savannah was very concerned about going on a Sunday. I agree. But, ear infection???
The next day he woke up with the pink and goop from his eyes. Nice.
No, this is not a picture of pinkeye Corbin, just cute Corbin.
Monday, Savannah woke up with pink goop and eyes sealed shut. Sweet. Kid #2 bring on the fun!
I took Savannah and Corbs to the Dr. to see if it is bacterial or virus. Yep, bacterial. I was there for quite some time as the Dr. discussed Corbin's illnesses. (head cold, double ear infection, massive adenoids and tonsils, white spots on the throat and pinkeye). Savannah left with spots on the throat and pinkeye. I left the day spending gallons on meds.
Right before we started FHE, Tanner did some serious complaining, "my ear really really hurts mom" I replied with "what? no it doesn't, you don't have a cold, you are healthy". He sat in the chair the rest of the night and ended the night with a 102.5 fever. Sweeeeet!
What did we do the next morning? Took Tanner into the Dr. (Nathan so so kindly did so I did not have to drag all infested kids back to the Dr's office). Tanner came home with an ear infection and spots on the throat and KABOOM, Pinkeye!
So, today (Tuesday) I have three kids home and I want to pull my hair out!
Savannah you got that right!!
So, here is our final result. Three sickies and so many meds we must be dealing from our house!
During this season of thanks, I am thankful we do NOT have the flu!

Oh Guts, I am trully sorry. That all does not sound fun. I hope you are hanging in there. Thanks for thinking of me today in between all you have going on. You are so sweet. I hope you are doing okay amongst all of this. Thinking of you guys.
Holy cow Guts. Torture. We are snot central around here. I love Christmas and then as soon as it's over, let's get going on summer, the season of wellness.
Stay away. But really, I am sad for all of you...
Guts. That is the worst. Just reading about your story makes me thankful for the flu. We had the pukes all through Thanksgiving. Good luck with the medicine and keep your eyes clean
Uh oh, you shouldn't have said anything about not having the flu....
What a post! I'm laughing, but I'm so sorry too. I think you got pinkeye from leaving a comment on my pinkeye infested blog. So not fun. My advice: do the drops faithfully for as long as they tell you to! My kids each got it twice, before we finally killed that dang bacteria. I had to make a chart for the fridge of all the medicine I had to administer, and how many times each day to keep up with it. I hope they're feeling better by now- nearly 3 days later. And I REALLY hope you stay healthy. Thats the last thing you need.
Pain and misery! You probably could open a small pharmacy with all those meds. Sheesh! Take care, and hope you don't catch anything from your kiddos!
