The Sick House

Yes, our house has become "The Sick House" rather than "The Napping House". It started with Aliya having two ear infections to both kids having a cough that still has not gone away. Last week Jaxon's cough got worse, then came the fevers. Now he has two ear infections. He started on some antibiotics last night and cried himself to sleep with an ice pack on his ear. He woke up around 1 throwing up from the antibiotics. So today we switched meds and are laying around watching movies. I am hoping these coughs, fevers, and bugs all go away... soon!

Jaxon did have all of Insta Care laughing last night, he will go from feeling fine to crying and feeling awful. He was having a good moment at the Dr. He was yelling because he had drops and cotton balls in his ear. He kept saying "WHAT?!" and asking why there was a sheep in his ear. (The nurse explained it in that term).

As for Aliya, she remains mellow and goes with the flow. She has been waving for a while now, but now she does it all the time, with her BIG cheesy grin. She also has signed milk and more in the past few days. We are starting a signing class at the beginning of March and am glad that we can bring Jaxon. It will be fun to see how fast he picks up the signs that he doesn't already know.

Back to watching movies. Any ideas on how to get kids to take antibiotics without a fight? 10 days is a long time when they fight it every time.
