Our household has become the sick ward. Kindergarten is an exciting time for Aisling, but it's a great time for the germs that have never invaded her system until now. While one would think she's build up an immunity from the all the germs her older siblings have brought home, apparently that's not the case.
It started with an innocent but annoying cough last week. Then it progresses to a runny nose, a gross mucous-y nose, fever and general un-wellness. Now, it's gone to an all out bacterial infection that's manifested itself as a irritating skin rash on Aisling.
She's also passed on the germs to others. Mom is out of commission (as much as a mother can be) with the flu. Daddy has a milder case (so far). Devlin is home from school with fevers and a sore throat. Ceilidh has complained of a headache but has pulled herself together to attend school. Quinn? He's had a slight fever and is a bit cranky.
There's a lots of Tylenol, chicken soup, and hot honey with lemon drinks being dispensed. But I'm getting short on TLC - hard to dispense when you're more sleep deprived than usual, trying to get by with a throat that feels like its full of cut glass.
