Dada and Allie were a little sick around the time of the Super Bowl. Right after the Super Bowl Mama had some asthma problems that I thought were going to become an issue, but they didn't. The it was Dada's turn. He was sick for about a week and even had to stay home a couple days. Then when he got better, Allie got sick!
She kind of had a little of everything, but the main problem was a low fever and lethargy. We were a bit concerned just because she'd never had a fever that long before; it lasted six days. She was home all last week. Mama stayed home two days and then Dada stayed home the last three days because Mama didn't have enough sick time.
Unfortunately by the time Mama went back to work, Mama was getting sick again. Then Dada got sick again. We've been passing this around all month! It was hard for both of us, but maybe moreso for Dada because at the end of the week even though she was still sick, Allie started feeling better. Its hard to look after a feeling-good Allie when we're sick!
I can't even count the number of times we've watched Toy Story over the last week!
Mama ended up going to the doctor and getting a prescription for prednizone because my ashtma flared really bad and my inhaler wasn't helping. Its been at least seven years since I had asthma complications with a chest cold. I have sinusitis too, but right now its probably viral. Ugh, its been viruses the whole time! But this doctor gave me an antibiotic prescription I can fill Wednesday if I'm still not better.
Today was the first day in a week and a half that all three members of the Durso pack left the house to go to work! Back to the land of the living... Allie is all better, though we've figured out she has her 2-year molars coming in, which may have played a part in her sickness last week as well. Dada I think is better, though not all the way. And Mama feels better than she has in a few days, but unfortunately nowhere near 100 percent.
Our hope for March is that it will be sickness-free!
