We started the girls in a Mother's Day Out program at the beginning of January so I could have a break and get more work done during the week. Well, they're sick all the time. And the only other kids in their class is a set of 8-month old twin boys (weird, right?), so where are they getting it from? Kids are just gross, I guess. Anyways. Mostly, it's just been snotty noses. But Friday, it culminated into snotty noses, phlegm-filled coughs, sore throats (you could tell by them writhing in pain after the coughs), and completely sleepless nights. So, this weekend was basically spent holding the girls...all day and all night. I don't mind that at all...they're super cuddly. I just hate them being sick. They're always so happy.
But, I wasn't able to blog and we're still not 100% sure where we're going, but we're supposed to decide tonight! So, I'll let you know (fingers crossed) tomorrow! Until then...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz z zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
I started my son in daycare at 10 months old. It seemed like he was sick almost every week. I think he missed over 20 days between September and May (I teach school). Not to mention the days all the days he went with a snotty nose but no fever. The good news is his immune system has improved. He's three now. The bad news is he's getting his 3rd set of ear tubes on Friday, but a lot of his issues with his ears are allergy induced. I've heard at least 3 doctors say that it is better to build their resistance while they're young, and not wait until they are older. Sorry so long, but I wanted to encourage you not to panic. Just think you are making those girls healthier in the long run.
