After 8 days of illness, my younger boy is back to normal finally today and back to school to boot. He's really been fighting something for several weeks and finally the combination of medicines and rest (ok, this has really been the hard part in getting him to lay down and let his body recuperate) has him healthy.
Of course, we pick the boys up at school tonight and the teacher of the older one (you know, the one who wasn't sick at all) says he hasn't been quite himself today. His eye was looking a little puffy tonight (his brother had also gone through a bought of pink eye over the weekend) so we put in some of the drops. He's now in the triple digits in temp (wish it was just half that warm outside!) and in bed sick. Here we go again.
Multi-kid households are like pinball machines. The germs are of course the pinballs themselves and they just seem to bounce around from flipper to flipper, no matter how hard my wife and I try to get them to go down the middle and miss both flippers (the boys), invariably they are able to keep those germs in play. The machine tilts when its the wife and I that get it too! I of course had it last week. It's my wife's turn this week I guess.
What goes around comes around...and around...and around...and around...
