Disinfectant....does anyone know of a good one I can spray on every inch of our house? At least one of us has been sick for six weeks and I am tired of it.

After a second visit to the doctor a week and a half ago Flower had some fluid in her ear and ended up with antibiotics. The meds worked well until this morning when she woke up with red arms and legs with hives. At least she got nine days of the antibiotics and her cough is gone.

Princess also had ten days of antibiotics for strep and within three days of finishing them, she started to cough. The cough is relentless. Dear Husband had it, I had it, and now Princess has it bad. We saw the doctor this morning and she did not think the strep was back. Unfortunately Princess refused to open her mouth for a throat swab to be sure. I was not pleased. The nurse was very, very patient with us. But, like the doctor said, if it is strep we will be back in two days so there was no use tormenting her.

As if this wasn't enough, I picked up a stomach bug and was sick all weekend. I'm finally feeling better today. We went to the school carnival Friday night so I am blaming it on that....although it was worth it, the girls had a blast. DH and I were reminiscing the Fun Night we had as kids and much to our delight the carnival was very similar. Cakewalk, fishing pond, beanbag toss, duck pond....

Keilie Dog finishes up her antibiotics this week. We removed her splint last week but she still isn't putting much weight on the infected leg. The staph ate three different bones in her ankle joint and the surrounding ligaments so we might have to get a brace to support her ankle. On the bright side, at least we caught the staph infection before it did serious damage, if you know what I mean.

I'm losing steam and that's all I can think of for now so I'll sign off. Happy spring and healthy thoughts!
