This Is How We Feel...

It seems like we've all been really sick lately!  It all began with Alex and what we thought was a sore throat, runny nose thing...you know how it is.  Then late one night he woke up screaming and didn't stop for 4+ hours.  We later found out that he had a raging ear infection and his ear drum burst, then after a visit to the doctors office and some meds, we experienced the whole thing over again in his other ear.  I was hoping that I would steer clear of the sickness, because as my husband knows, I never get sick!  Then it came, and it came hard - runny nose, chills, and a lingering dry cough that is still hanging around. I was hoping that it would end there, but then McKaleigh go the flu and has been home sick for the last two days and NOW Colton has (what he has self diagnosed as strep throat - from his Health textbook) a sore throat and cough.  Brett has pretty much steered clear of all of the junk, but I think he is trying to hide a bit of a cough and sore throat (I have heard it now and again).  I sure hope that this is it for the winter season.  We are downing Calcium supplements, Emergency C packets, juice, fruit and anything else that might help us along - and it has not even been COLD lately!  I am not sure we are ready for Winter!
