With back to school time always comes a new batch of ear infections, viruses, etc. Given how well Matt and I know our kids routines and behaviors we know when they are sick, right? Well, Erin and Sloane have both been congested and coughing as well as incredibly irritable so we took them off to the doctors yesterday expecting that one or both had ear infections or strep. We took Sarah along simply because if one girl is sick, usually at least one other is as well.
Yup, you guessed it - Sloane and Erin's ears and throat were fine if but a bit irritated. Sarah, who's been acting fine has a very red throat and ear infection. I guess she just gets her sisters to complain for her!
With that diagnosis we went off to get the prescription filled and ran into another minor issue. It seems Sloane is very jealous of Sarah's medicine. So, each night after Sarah torments Sloane by parading around singing "my medicine, my medicine" we need to mix up the magic medicine (read: water) and let Sloane have her dose.
Cole is doing well - he's gaining weight after a slow start where his weight dipped a few ounces after coming home. I pointed out the beginning of a double chin on him to Matt today but Matt thinks I'm imagining it. We're still trying to figure out if the smiles we've gotten are true early smiles or gas, which is plentiful!
