Amoxicillin Part II

We have had our share of sickness in this house over the past few weeks. About 3 weeks or so ago, ALL the boys (Wade included) were on antibiotics at the exact same time. Wade had bronchitis and a sinus infection, Carson had an ear infection, and Callahan had "sinusitis" for toddlers. We had been off antibiotics for about a week when Tuesday night, Callahan started vomitting all night long....with diarrhea. He seemed better by Thursday evening, but was still exhausted and pretty fussy. That's when Carson came down with a fever of 101.4 and completely wiped out on the couch at 6:00 p.m. which is totally not like him to sack out at that time of night. He also came down with a fever on Sunday...so with these two fevers spread out like that, I made him a doctor's appt. thinking that he still had an ear infection. We went ahead and made Cal one too, just to make sure he didn't have anything other than a virus. So at 8:00 Thursday night, we lugged both boys to the doctor and low and behold....they BOTH tested positive for strep!! The dr. said that Callahan probably had a stomach bug first and then caught strep from Carson on top of it. Well, we came to find out that she was totally right because all night Thursday night, Wade was up with the stomach bug! He stayed in bed all day yesterday completely wiped out and still a little nauseas. Poor guy! Everyone today seems better, in fact, the boys are up playing like normal and Wade headed out to try and get some work done. So we are on round 2 of antibiotics and I am praying that the sickos be run out of this house and that mama doesn't get sick!!


This is a picture of Carson yesterday when he was feeling much better obviously...he dressed himself - what do ya think?
