Sometime last week I had brought home a nasty cold. Somehow the first time I had been sick since last February! I was pretty proud to make it one full year! However, I knew it was gonna be trouble for the girls. Sure enough one week later Bekah came down with my cold. However, it was a nasty cold so she got the cough and all! After 2 days we went to the dr and she said it could be pneumonia, but we would have to wait a couple days to see if a fever develops. Sure enough the fever developed and we headed in for an x-ray. It was indeed pneumonia! Poor Bekah was pretty sick and still is trying to get over it on antibiotics. She is a trooper though and has hardly complained but has had trouble sleeping with the cough.
Ryan finally came down with it next. Of course I took Ryan in quickly to see the dr knowing she always gets ear infections. Of course she had a double ear infection. She also has a terrible cough but we are hoping that since she is already on antibiotics she won't end up with pneumonia. She could still end up with bronchitis again but that isn't as scary as pneumonia! Other than the diarrhea in the begining of winter the girls did really well this winter. This is only their second cough/cold this winter! Im happy with that! It just seems that the stuff going around this year is not simple and easy to get over. We hope that this is the last for a long time for us! If Ryan has any more trouble with the ears she may be up for tubes like Bekah. We really arent opposed to tubes simply because they have helped Bekah immensly! But Ryan usually has this problem every winter and by spring has no more problems so we shall see what happens.
