Antibiotics
Yes, my son is on antibiotics. His rattling cough and green, icky nose this morning was an unexpected surprise when I carried him downstairs. Glad my Mother's instinct kicked in and I called the doctor...even though we were there on Monday (bad diaper rash) and the doctor checked out the runny nose and gave us the "all clear."
My household has had ENOUGH with the cold. Can I write someone and request that it doesn't come back again...like the do not call list? My son has had a runny nose since Saturday, so we're nearing a week. I was hoping this morning he would have woken up on the mend today, but no such luck. Not only is he heading back down the sick road, but as I sit here typing I'm hoping that the Tylenol I took a few hours ago will dent the sore throat that I've just developed.
I'm hopeful that I'll feel much better after a good nights' sleep (which I didn't get last night...need to go to bed earlier and start cutting back on my addictive reality television!). We've canceled all of our activities for this week, including the play group I was supposed to host for my son's buddies tomorrow (moved from Tuesday as I thought he'd be better by now). Good to get the down time, but I've had enough down time...feeling sick, that is. How about some plain old rest now requiring Kleenex, medication, and sore throats?
