'Tis the Season

No, not that season. The bad season. Sick season. I remember last year, the kids were pretty much sick from October through March, then came Joshua's surgery, then came Malena's surgery, and it wasn't until July/August 'til we were all well. Unfortunately, it seems this year is heading that way. I can't remember who was sick first, but we all got sick, then there was maybe a week of everyone starting to feel better. Then Josh got sick again, then Malena, then Jake, then Josh was well, then Jake was well. Now Malena's starting to get over it again, but now Josh is sick again! This is a big, never-ending circle. I clean, disinfect, but it's impossible with 3 constant runny noses (and other fluids) to keep up with.

Malena always seems to get it the worste (not surprising) and always seems to get weird breakouts on her face. This time she looks like she has two black eyes. And of course, her nose is raw from all the wiping. No medication stops this little girl's nose from running.



My poor little baby. I can't wait until summer so we can all be well!

OMG, my poor baby!! Is this yet another rash?
She looks so uncomfortable. I hope that she (and everyone) recovers quickly.

Poor Malena!!! Logan and Jackson both have red crustiness encircling their mouths right now...winter excema exaserbated by licking around their lips. All the A+D in the world isn't helping. Sigh....
