Miguelito and I are running a close race for who can use the most Kleenex in a day. Poor little man and poor poor Mommy.

After a few phone calls, I was able to get another antibiotic called in for myself without having to go to the MD since that would have required bringing a very fussy and clingy 14 month old with me. I am now taking Augmentin twice a day for the sinus infection from Hades, and I seem to be a bit better this morning. If only the darn hacking cough would go away so I could sleep at night. Did you know that sinus pressure in your face can make your teeth hurt?

I took Miguelito in to see his pediatrician yesterday morning and he still has an ear infection in his right ear and he has coxsackievirus, which is a relative of the virus that causes hand-foot-mouth disease. He does not have hand-foot-mouth disease, but has blisters/whelps in his throat along with a runny nose. He is also taking Augmentin twice a day along with Tylenol and Motrin for pain. He is not eating well, but seemed to be in better spirits today than yesterday.

I really hope by tomorrow Miguelito and I will both be feeling much better, and I will have something upbeat and witty to post about.

Morris on 3/13/2008 6:13 PM Dear Cara:
It's hard enough to have a sick baby, but to have Moms and babies too is much worse, there is a truth about Mom's not supposed to get sick, I don't know how pioneers mom's did it without antibiotics. Getting over the same kind of flu myself a couple of weeks ago, you don't wish it on anyone. Please take care of yourself and remember you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Chio
