bugs, germs and bacteria... all communicable and deciding to go through our kids one . at . a . time!!!
I've all but lost track on how long it has been since Aerynn became ill. She still hasn't recovered, nor have we had a decent quarantine period to allow her back out in the public. We were back at the GP last Friday with a middle ear infection in both ears. 2 days on antibiotics and all the hard work we have done to get her skin clear and as sore free as possible has already been undone. Her gut appears to have been stripped and food is going straight through her again, she has developed blisters on her skin which are having the tops burned off and bleeding no matter how quickly we change her nappies. I'm feeling jaded but have to keep pushing through...
She has at least 2 weeks on the antibitotics in total and then we will start trying to build her up and starting the 2 weeks quarantine again. At this stage her birthday party we are trying to plan is still another month away :/ It's so frustrating to see time race by while she tries to beat these bugs.. But at the same time the bugs aren't anything that any other child really struggles too much with. I feel like a big phoney complaining that she has a minor cold or an ear infection, but at the same time her symptoms and recovery time are blown out of proportion compared to a regular child... Such a hard place to be in.
I also have had the other children coming down with their "regular" bugs that are communicated child to child at school. Toby is cutting his bottom two teeth and clingy as a result, Dommy is currently sleeping on the couch with temps in the high 39*-40*C and completely miserable, Kahli had last friday off school with a gastro complaint, William has the same one today... Just waiting now for Aleks to come down with something so they all can cross this week of hell off my list LOL
So if I'm quiet again it's not because we've dropped off the face of the planet, we're just busy busy nursing out children through the next few weeks of icky germs and bug infestations...
