Sick Kids

Well both kids have been sick all week. We're now experiencing the joys of having one kid get sick and then give it to the other. Fun times.

I took Calvin to the walk in clinic on Saturday since he had a bad cough. The doctor said his chest sounded great and he seemed really happy even though his cough sounded terrible. On Monday Calvin had his 2 month shots, good thing they only give 2 in Ontario vs the 4 that Sarah got at 2 months. We also wanted to have the doctor take another look at Sarah's skin and set up a specialist appointment for us with a dermatologist since she has constantly itchy skin and dry spots that don't seem to be relieved with any cream, etc.

Well, the noses continue to run and the kids continue to cough. And now Calvin's eye's have become goopy. So it was off to the doctor office again today. So now he has eye drops to hopefully make that better.

Both kids went to sleep well and were sleeping by 7:30, then at 8:30 Sarah woke up and had thrown up in her crib. So we cleaned her up, threw her bedding in the wash, changed the sheets and put her back to bed. Poor girl.

Now it's the end of the day, and we're both feeling pretty much ready for bed ourselves. Some days are indeed long and difficult. Parenting sure isn't easy!

That said, the snow continues to fall. Now the forecast calls for snow daily until Saturday. It's actually quite unbelieveable and almost wierd to see it falling all day and night and then wake up to it still falling. Hopefully we can get out and enjoy it at some point. Three doctors visits in four days is more than enough for me! We're sure hoping both kids get better asap, it's sure a horrible thing to see your babies sick and miserable, especially when there is so little that you can do to help them.
