house of germs

the last several days have been rough ones around the vaughan house. early last week henry started cutting two teeth, which brought a cough and runny nose. by wednesday the cough had gotten so bad it was triggering his gag reflex and making him throw up often. on thursday he started running a 102 fever. also on thursday night, gary got food poisoning from some old lettuce (we think) and was in the fetal position until saturday morning. on friday, henry's eye was nearly swollen shut. I then took henry to the doctor ... turns out he has an ear infection, a respiratory infection, conjunctivitis in that eye, and a cold virus. our doctor started him on some antibiotics.

gary is nearly all better-just getting over a cold but the stomach bug is gone. henry is slowly getting better ... but still has a ways to go. his eye is much better, but everything else is still lingering and the cough is still making him sick at times. also, yesterday I found that he is cutting two MORE teeth, so four total (all molars). poor guy can't just get one tooth at a time ... or even just two ... it is four or five at a time.

henry is taking his medicine like a champ though! hopefully the next few days will show more signs of improvement - it is always so sad to see your little one sick. I have not been feeling great either but am trying to ignore it.
