So, Caroline has Kidney Reflux, seeing a pediatric urologist the end of April. And has chronic ear infections, seeing an ENT the end of April. All of this right as she is about to turn 1. Not fun. Then last night, John says he is very sleepy and lays down on the floor...NOT normal. Kid won't slow down for 'nothin. So, I knew he was "getting" sick. Mom's know the definition of "getting" sick and....it sucks. So, at midnight, I hear "mommy, mommy!!". Fever. Says his ear hurts. I, Dr. Mom, diagnose the ear infection right away. Unfortunately, when I took him to the doctor this morning, they revoked my honorary degree and told me he had strep. What a curveball. Ear Infections are not contagious. Strep is. Now I have to keep the other 3 of us from getting it. Ever try that with a 3 year old? He is constantly sticking his fingers in his nose, wiping his snot on his clothes and sneezing on anyone he comes in contact with. I told Chase that I wanted 24 hours without kids....not for a spa day or a vacation, but to CLOROX the house. I feel so germy!
So, if this isn't enough, putting out fires at work ALL day long is just the icing on the cake. Although, I am trying not to be whiny and complaining to Chase at the end of the day. I figure if I can vent on this blog, or to my girlfriends and sisters, maybe Chase won't have to take the brunt of it.....just maybe...

Sarah, I not sure if you remember me, I am Ellen's sister-in-law Sandy. When you sister didn't update her blog in days and days and days and days (I think you get the idea) I was going through withdrawl and decided to take a peak in on other blogs linked to Ellen's. First, let me tell you just how ADORABLE John and Caroline are! I love seeing their pictures as I am reading about their days.
Second, coming from the mother a daughter who was also sick as a young child (but not as young as Caroline,)remember two things.
1) YOU are your child's best advocate! YOU know you child better than anyone else, and what medical procedures she will or will not tolerate.
2)Do not stop searching for the right answers and diagnoses until you are completely siatisified! My prayers are with you, Chase, and your children!
