Staple Fridge Items...

After a week and a half of "sickies", I am ready to get a big fumigation tent and fill it with Lysol.  This weekend I really thought our family was over the worst.  Nope, I spoke typed too soon.   Ella seemed to be on the mend, but poor Abby just couldn't get rid of her fever.  It would linger all weekend, even when she was given medicine. She also was hardly eating anything all weekend. So back to the doctor we went on Monday morning for her.  Good thing though because turns out she developed an ear infection since her last visit the Thursday before.  (And lost a pound too! Poor thing!)

But I must admit, I like hearing that it is an ear infection.  Why? might you ask??  Well because THAT is treatable with antibiotics! I hate hearing that it is "just a virus" because there is nothing that can fix that.  An ear infection is at least fixable.   After a day or two on her antibiotics, her fever was gone and she was eating more.   Both girls still have some coughs (especially when they are more active) and Ella is just finishing up her breathing treatments.

Tonight when giving Abby her medicine, I came to a realization:  Must families have the same "staple" products in their fridge.  You know, like milk, eggs, butter, cheese, etc.  Nope, not our family.  Apparently our staple product is amoxicillin.  Seems that the last 3 weeks we have always had a couple of those pink bottles in there.  First it was for Ella for after her surgery.  10 days 3 times a day.  Now we have a new batch for Abby for the next 10 days as well.   Might seem odd in the next week to open the fridge and not see that pink bottle next to the milk and eggs...but I will be happy to see the vacant spot!
