Seriously!?!

Seriously....one of us hase been sick since August. Terrible times at the King house!

First, Beau had a terrible case of an ear infection + swimmer's ear. It was horrible. Rodney and Beau spent 6 or more hours at Children's South with an ENT and then we went back in for a check up a few days later to make sure the meds were kicking in. Thankfully, they did and he was fine.



About a week later, Beau started school and got strep throat.

Then, Tropical Storm Lee hit and we lost power for 4 days. We stayed at home because Rodney set us up with a generator that ran almost everything for us. But, Baby Joseph got a nasty cold after that.




Then, a week or so later, baby Joseph got Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. Yuck!!
Beau had this 2-3 times between 1-2 years old, so thankfully he appeared to be immune to it. :) But, Momma got Mono and possibly Strep from cuddling with baby Joseph while he felt terrrible with hand, foot, and mouth. Apparently, it is a form of Herpes and can cause Mono in adults. Lovely.

The Dr. told me it would take 2-3 months for me to feel normal again and would be contagious until my fever went away, but that I could still cook and clean for my family (As long as I washed my hands). Oh, and to sleep as much as possible. Seriously!?! Not, so easy to do with 2 little ones :) Thankfully, Rodney has decided to work from home this week and help with the kids. Hopefully all the vitamins I am taking will kick in and boost my energy since there is no medicine you can take to get over mono...just sleep, liquids, and vitamins.

Seriously ready for the whole family to be well at the same time!
