News Bulletin from the Sick Room

We've had a wave of sickness hit our house this week! Katherine came home early from school on Wednesday. We found out Thursday afternoon that she had Strep Throat. Andrew woke up on Saturday Morning complaining that he couldn't breathe. Sure enough, he had an attack of the "false croup." (I don't know if there is such a thing, but that is what the doctors in the emergency room called it when we took him in six years ago for the same problem. He gets these attacks two or three times each year when the weather gets cold and they are always terrifying!) He has had a nasty cough ever since. I found out that I have a bacterial infection of some kind or other, so Katherine and I get to have races to see who can get their awful medication down first! After three trips to the pharmacy in two days we are all finally on the road to recovery. I hope. I guess we'll see after my doctor's appointment tomorrow...
