ugh, we can’t seem to catch a break around here.  First, Elias and Nikki were sick 2 weekends ago.  Nikki had a sore throat Sunday but that was it.  Elias had a small cough and ended up with an ear infection (not his first or last, just a PITA with antibiotics).  Well then I caught it last weekend and was knocked out for a solid week (Sunday~Wednesday I was sick sick and had to stay home, Wednesday afternoon through Friday work told me to stay home and work from home to avoid getting anyone else sick, hooray for computers!).  Well now Nikki’s throat hurts worse than it did 2 weeks ago today and now Elias has TWO ear infections and when I took him to the Doctors today she told me he has bronchitis!!!  So that’s a cool ~$80 in co-payments in the last 2 weeks never mind all the drugs we’ve been pumping into our systems.  Now Elias has been coughing all night and sounds miserable (he’s too young to realize sleeping on his back won’t work, so every time he rolls over he wakes up coughing :/).  Nikki and Elias will both be home from work/school at least tomorrow but hopefully both will be feeling better soon!  It breaks my heart hearing Elias up coughing at night.  This is his first cold/cough where it’s been this bad, before it’s been almost cute.  I’m finally feeling OK but didn’t go out shooting this weekend beyond a quick walk to seal point Saturday when we all thought we felt OK…
