Sick^3

Peter is sick. He mostly sleeps in 2-3 hour batches, although he hasn't been napping well*. Very runny nose. nasty sounding cough. We took him to the Dr. and he said it seems to be RSV (croup). Not terribly serious, it just sounds bad. He also said that most of Peter's discomfort is teething. his gums are all swollen. It appears that his molars are coming in... 4 - 6 teeth all at once. No wonder he can't sleep.

Tera's also got a cold. It's similar to Peter's in some ways, but totally.

My nose is starting to get runny.

Yuck

I haven't mentioned if the girls are sick because I don't want to jinks them.

* Oh, that makes sleeping fun for the adults

I can't believe noone mentioned this

Peter had pink eye. It cleared up in a day, so we did 5 days (it said 5-7). A couple days later it came back, so we started over, this time we are going the full 7 days. We are at about day 5.

Peter HATES the drops. For the last 10 days we've needed both of us to do drops, pinning head and hands in place, while prying his eyes open. It's so traumatic that he hasn't been sleeping good.

Today we got the bottle out for comforting afterward and he reached for it. Tera let him hold it and he started to drink. He laid there eyes open and didn't blink as the drops went in.

Dammit, that would have been nice to know 2 weeks ago.
