The Plague

We were hit by the plague this week! Brianna and Miranda had a runny nose and cough for a week and seemed to be getting better. Chad and I started to get sick on my birthday with colds as well. Then Bri took a turn for the worse and ran a high fever for 2 days. The highest was 105 degrees and she was very lethargic for those two days. She could hardly move and wouldn't walk. Miranda's cold seemed to be gone, but she was having some very cranky moments pretty often! So, I headed to the doctor to find out that Miranda had a double ear infection and Brianna had pneumonia! Thank heavens for modern medicine! They are both doing better after being on antibiotics. Brianna got an antibiotic shot, and within 12 hours was bouncing around the house again! She seems nearly back to normal, it's amazing! Chad however was feeling much worse today, so after a trip to Urgent Care he is on antibiotics for a sinus infection!!! I'm just hoping mine doesn't turn into bronchitis!!! Our new neighborhood is kind of in the middle of nowhere so I'm grateful that the one store out here is Walgreens. I believe I've made 7 trips there in the last few days!
Here's a picture of the girls feeling better, watching some tv (though they look a little orphaned due to a rough few days and no baths!) I'm so glad to see them smiling! Miranda loves to copy her sister and Bri thinks it hilarious!
As far as the allergy testing, both of the girl's tests came back "inconclusive" again! Miranda has another appointment next week for "patch testing" where they will make pastes out of the offending foods and leave them there for 72 hours...then check to see for a reaction. We may have to reschedule since she's on antibiotics...I'll just have to call and check!
