Ever since our trip to the beach, we just cannot get well in our house. Every week we have had a new ailment that has affected someone. This week being no exception.
Over the past three years, I have observed that ever since Edie blessed our little family with her existence, we have had some bug, sniffle, or illness. My theory is that it has something to do with the fact that I am constantly telling her to get her finger out of her nose or maybe that one time I caught her chewing on her shoe strings. My point is she is germ infested, and no matter how much I disinfect and scrub her from top to bottom, we still have weeks on end of different symptoms coming and going in our house.
So that is where I have been lately. I spent a good week laying around like a slug trying to keep food down, and then the next couple of weeks playing catch up and nursing my sick family back to health.
We are not out of the woods yet. In fact, in about an hour, I’ve got a doctor’s appointment for Edie who woke up wheezing last night, but I felt that if I didn’t touch base with some of you, I might start getting some phone calls wondering if we had been abducted by aliens. Rest assured, we haven’t.
