First Antibiotics for the Little Man

Okay, so while we were in Rock Hill, my kids got sick(er), which made the car ride home interesting. Emma Grace's runny nose turned into a full blown viral sinus infection or a really bad cold...which made her mood impeccable. Then, by Monday, Ollie began his runny nose and running low grade fevers. TOO MUCH FUN FOR ME!

All's to say that now we are on the road to recovery - after a very horrible week. Emma Grace's cold almost ran its course with just over the counter meds and we got some prescription decongestants today to knock it out fully. Ollie's infection however was not so easy. He cried for about 36 hours with very little breaks --- only for bottles, baths, and bibs (eating). He was on his way from a cold to ear infection as fluid had started to build behind his ears explaining the unceasing sobs of my little man that really NEVER cries. He's got his first round of amoxicillin.

Here's the free tip of the day - don't shop while waiting in the pharmacy for meds to be filled. In less than 15 minutes, $40 worth of prescriptions cost me $119 by the time I left with them, diapers, tylenol for everyone, and various other convenience items.
