Sicky McSickerson

Oh the joys of "school". 


Bug has been participating in our church's Children's Day Program (Mother's Day Out or more appropriately for us, Daddy's Day Out) since early September.  She had been a relatively healthy child until that point.  Since then, she has managed to get all 3 of us sick.  Two-thirds of us have healed for the most part - Bug not so much.  Her cold has grown into an upper respiratory infection.  A nice slimy snotty congestion-y upper respiratory infection.


Typically, I'd say no problem - snot isn't a big deal to me, she's not running a fever, she's eating and acting normally.  But for some reason, she just can't kick the sickness.  She's into week 2 of this and the infection seems to be resistent to the medication her pediatrician prescribed.


And really?  Why do they make bubblegum flavored meds for an 8 month old?  Because Bug likes it way too much and I'd rather her not know that taste any time soon THANKYOUVERYMUCH. 


So we have a Sicky McSickerson on our hands until A) the antibiotic kicks in and kills the infection B) Dr. Grandma (who is a pediatrician) calls something in that's stronger or C) we wait it out until Wednesday and see Bug's pediatrician again and have her represcribe something.


Can I just have my healthy child back?
