Sicki Samantha

This week has been sick week. Earlier in the week I took Ashlynn to the Dr. and left with four prescriptions. One for a double ear infection, one for allergies, one for her cough, and an antibiotic. She had been battling this nasty cough on and off for a month and 1/2 now. Then the night before last, Samantha woke up in the night with around a 104 degree fever. I hurried and stripped her down and gave her motrin to get the fever down. She was fine the next day until 5:00 or so and then her eyes started getting all goopy. Everytime I would wipe out her eyes they would just "goop" up again. She also developed this really nasty cough and she had some weird sore appear under her nose. So, Saturday morning I decided I better take her to the Dr. She ended up having infections in both her eyes, croup, and the little sore is infantigo. So, we left with 3 more prescriptions to fill. This has been the nastiest season for sickness. I can't wait for it to pass.










Samantha didn't even look like herself because her eyes were so swollen.

I know she was sick, but she looked so dang cute. Her face was so sad like a little puppy dog. I hope you are hanging in there. Call me if you need anything.

Isn't it aweful to have sick kids. Poor thing. She looks miserable. I've been lucky enough to stay away from most of that this year, knock on wood. Hope everyone starts to feel better soon!
