It's been a little while since I've blogged, and for good reason. About a week after Erin's birthday, I got sick. I thought it was the flu, (because no one else was sick and I was the only one who didn't get a flu shot) but when my throat kept getting worse I decided to go to the doctor. It turned out that it was strep. Not fun! I was out of commission for for several days. When John got home from work he took care of dinner and the kids, and that weekend My Mom and Dad came and helped take care of me too. While they were here we celebrated my Dad's birthday.
Just when I started feeling better, Erin came down with something else (She tested negative for strep). Her illness brought out 2 huge cold sores. John and I have never had cold sores before, so we ran out and bought the best medecine available for them and put it on faithfully for 2 whole days. Well, it turns out that Erin's allergic to Abreva. We tried benadryl and hydrocortizone, but it kept getting worse. When it got to this :
We took her to the doctor.
Poor thing!
She missed 3 days of school just because we were concerned that other kids would make fun of her.
Next both of the boys got sick, and then not long after that, John got very sick. The latest thing to go around lately is a stomach bug that gives you indigetion and the runs. Needless to say, we are ready for winter to end.

Madelyn had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin the 2nd of March, she looked just like Erin. It was scary.
Wow, that's scarey about Erin. Poor little thing. I love Abreva and didn't know people could be allergic to it. Being sick is the worst. You've had your share of it so I hope your family is healthy the rest of the YEAR!
Poor Erin. She must have been uncomfortable!
Boy, I thought I was ready for winter to be over!!
