Snotty-nosed...Keimigs!

We have been a little MIA lately...so sorry!  The past two weekends we have been dealing with gunk...THE gunk.  We are the hacking, sniffling, snotty-nosed family these days!

Our sweet little Vinnie tries so hard to make it through the week, not wanting to miss a moment of times with his pals at Daycare, but when the weekend hits, he goes down, and usually goes down hard!  He had a fever upon picking him up from daycare last Friday, and declined from there.  After a rough night we decided to go into the pediatrician, fearing he had caught RSV that was going around his room at daycare, or even the flu.  We spent several hours at the pediatrician, and even headed to the hospital for X-rays, to determine it was some virus, and be given a potent shot of antibiotics.  The shot got him up and going and by Sunday he was fever free and more himself.

Throughout the week at school, my (mom) little sniffles and tickle turned into the full blown gunk and by Friday I was feeling down-right miserable and ready for a weekend on the couch.  Vinnie seemed to slow down too...and we later found gunk around his ears, a sure sign of an ear infection.  Fortunately, the tubes are doing their job and draining all the nasty stuff out.  We are on our second day of drops, and he seems to be doing better.

Fearing that we were just re-infecting ourselves in our very own home, Jon spent a good portion of today sanitizing and cleaning.  I stripped beds and washed sheets, and Vinnie and I both took a fantastic nap this afternoon.  We are feeling good...just in time for the work week.

Now if we could only stay well to and THROUGH next weekend! :)
