Is February Over Yet?

Since the 3rd of this month, we have been sick to one degree or another. I think it is finally ending, just as the month comes to a close.

It all started with a stomach bug and Angela. Then Jamie and I got it. It seemed to skip Alphy. For me, one night of vomiting on a pregnant tummy was not fun. I lost 10 pounds in fluids just over that weekend. Then I got a UTI. Not fun.

Then the girls got colds, which haven't ever really gone away but at least aren't too bad at the moment. Then Alphy had stomach pains bad enough to send him to the emergency room. Maybe the stomach bug finally got him. We don't know. It ended pretty quick. Except that the next night, Angela went in to the emergency room. Her cold had created a cough that kept getting worse. Then she developed a fever. After a day and a half of fevers not going away and Angela not acting normal, Alphy took her in.

Bacterial pneumonia. Antibiotics that caused interesting diarrhea and later diaper rash.

Then, I got a sore throat. And a cold. That led to pink eye. Jamie also had a slight case of cold-caused pink eye. Enough so that one morning, she woke up with her eyelashes stuck together and cried "I want to see again."

Now Alphy has post-nasal drip and a sore throat, while the girls and I are recovering from everything else.

Please let it all end with the end of this month!
