We have some sick and tired people here in Lynamland these days.
Keelyn started showing signs of congestion Friday night, and by yesterday the poor thing could hardly breathe :(. I ended up making a doctor's appointment for her today and when there was told that she has an ear infection. Poor girl. She never ran a temp, so I wasn't as concerned about her so-called cold, but I sure am glad I got her taken in (a public thanks to Grandma Sally for pushing me to get her to the doctor!).
Soo... she is on the good ol' antibiotic Amoxicillan, plus has some eye drops for the nasty gunk that's creeping out of them. One dose of each medicine is in her and I really feel like it's starting to help. For starters she ate more tonight than she did all day, she doesn't sound as congested, and she's sleeping more peacefully.
On top of Keelyn having this ear infection, Sean has a cold! He's gone to bed VERY early the past two or three nights and is also pretty congested. He's also dealing with some pooey behavior stuff at school which is making him feel even worse... and way more tired, too. Let's hope he doesn't get an ear infection, too!
As for me? Well, I'd probably be the most tired of all three of us. I've stayed up worrying about Keelyn, and have had to do a bit more around here since poor Sean isn't feeling up to snuff. To be preventative, I did get my first ever flu shot today at school. Let's hope it helps me out this fall!
In other news, I did get to find out how much Keelyn weighs when I took her to the doc. I'm proud to say that she is up to 11 pounds 9 ounces! I also got the camera battery charged so here's a pic of our sleeping sickie. Hopefully I will be able to get some lively, smiling pictures posted soon.
