HEALTH – It’s been rough this past week

Last week started well with my birthday on Feb. 4^th but went down from there, health wise. Aria’s surgery to remove the puss pocket from her sinuses was scheduled for Friday morning. I took the day off so that I could take Haydn and Suzanna to school. I ended up taken Haydn to the doctor instead because he’d been complaining of not feeling well for a day or two. It turned out that he had an ear infection, possible strep throat, and pimple near his mouth that turned out to be MRSA. Later that day we took in Suzanna to the doctor because she’s had a persistent cough that the antibiotics that she had been on a week earlier had not cured.

So, by Friday night, all three of our kids were on medication for one thing or another. Aria was on pain meds from the surgery. Haydn and Suzanna went on antibiotics. We also had to deal with Haydn’s MRSA and that was not fun, especially for him. It’s a very painful process of removing the infection.

We decided that everyone was staying home for the weekend and so the kids we stuck watching TV, playing video and board games, and reading. They did pretty well for being cooped up for almost 48 hours straight. 

We sent Suzanna and Haydn to school Monday morning but Aria developed a bad cough and so we kept her home and now she’s on another round of steroids to help her increase her lung function. Hopefully she’ll feel well enough for school today.


UPDATE (TUES. NIGHT) - And now Tina is coming down with something. She's running a fever, can't seem to get warm, & went to bed early. We'll see what happens tomorrow. 

ANOTHER UPDATE - It turned out that Tina has Bronchitis and a sinus infection. So, she's on medication also.


We'd appreciate your prayers for the health of our family and the ability to pay the doctor bills. Thank you!!
