And so the fun begins with the Cold and Flu Season in our home. Both of our daughters have a cough, runny nose and fever - ugh! We are visiting the doctors today to check for ear infections (as my toddler was saying her ear hurt last night). I'm hoping it is just ear infections and not something worse or unknown because that poses another set of drama to put my poor kids through (urine samples, blood samples, testing, ugh!) - and I feel as though we have been through enough of that lately with my 6 month-old having a UTI and then being diagnosed with a grade 2 reflux of the urethra (which thankfully most kids grow out of but the testing and procedures to get to that point are not fun.) Keeping my fingers crossed that it's just the simple ear infections as I know how to treat those.
Sleep the past few nights has been spotty at best and I'm starting to feel the effects of the cold and flu season as well (thankfully enough I can take things such as Zicam which seems to help me ward off the worse of it). I'm hoping to get a decent night's sleep tonight as I'm starting my new job tomorrow and would like to not look like "death warmed over". (Isn't it odd how many phrases and sayings you find yourself using as a mother that your own mother used frequently?)
I hope everyone else out there is happy and healthy and stays so.
