Double What infections??

After weeks of a bug in our house manifesting itself in one fashion or another in each of us, (funny, because ALL of us had flu shots EXCEPT Allison - and she's the one in school!) Allison finally caught it this week. It hit her with a ton of bricks on Sunday morning. After almost three days of fever, chills, non-eating and vomiting, I took her to the doctor yesterday afternoon. Turns out she had not one but TWO ear infections, but hadn't complained about her ears hurting one bit. Hmmm... along with a Rx for antibiotics, they also gave her a shot to stop the vomiting that knocked her out cold for the night at 6pm. I never knew such a thing existed! How many times have pediatricians just told me to keep trying pedialyte, sip by sip - and watch for dehydration - - when all they had to do was give one silly injection to stop the throwing up??? Sheesh! She was almost good as new this morning and was pleased as punch to get back to school. Maybe life will get back to normal now...

I'm glad to hear that the family is up and running again. Got to love those bugs for all the fun they cause!

Landon was given a pill to stop his vomiting...it was nice to not have to deal with the upchuck anymore.

Glad the last of it is gone!
