I knew it would happen - the majority of the house getting sick at once. And, as I imagined, not fun. Starting from the youngest: Star (1) had an ear infection and was on 1 antibiotic. It did not clear it up. So, she was put on another. Yesterday, her cheeks started getting red. Then a rash started. I thought it was fifth disease. I brought her in today to find out for sure, since some of the therapists that come to the house are childbearing age. Dr said, "No, that's not fifth. That's a reaction to the antibiotic!" "Oh, and that cough she has is RSV." Yippee! Needless to say, she's a little fussy.
Logan and Trevor feel fine, amazingly.
Charlie started complaining about his tummy hurting last Wednesday. He also got a fever that day. Saturday I took Charlie in to the dr. She did a strep test, urine test, and flu test. They all came back negative, so they sent us home. His fever has been mostly down, but he's still laying around and complaining about his tummy hurting. I took him back to the dr today, and she just said to wait a little longer before tests.
I got the flu Thursday and Friday. That was not fun.
Now DH has the flu. Yuck.
Hopefully in a few days everyone will be over everything and we can all get back to normal.
How did the interview go? I hope he is able to find something better suited to your family's needs. Hope everyone is beginning to mend and feel better.
