Yep...we got the crud again. This time round I was a little more aggressive with getting treatment for all of us. When Xaris had to change antibiotic again this time I had words with her pediatrician about not letting her illnesses linger, at least while I'm pregnant and have very little options for treating it when I get it. I can totally understand why it's important to not go to the strongest drugs first unless it's absolutely necessary--but this is twice in a row that Cephalexin hasn't worked for her. If she gets sick again, I'm refusing it for another antibiotic so hopefully she'll get healthy and we'll stay healthy.
When Ric and I got sick, we went to CareNow instead of our own Dr. SOO much better. I was in and out in less than an hour, instead of the long waits and 2 visits that my Dr. seemed to require in order to take care of my bug. Ricardo left CareNow with an antibiotic, cough meds, and steroids, and within a day he was feeling better--instead of the 3 days of missed work last time around.
Now--it could be that this is a lesser infection than what we got last time around? But sick feels like sick, and I'm not being very gracious anymore--I think it's time to change Drs!
We're back on the road to health...X is sleeping well again and obviously feeling better by her amount of energy and her playing. Ric's been at work all week, and I have too, although I'm still lagging behind in my recovery. I was the last to get sick though, so the last to start the antibiotics.
Anyway...Hopefully we'll be back to good FOR GOOD soon. I'd like to post pictures from a dinner we had with our friends John, Debra (and Marshall and Lucy!) and Mark, Leslie (and Jack), but we left our camera at Mark and Leslie's house, so it'll have to wait.
Instead, I'll put up a poll--it looks like I'll have an ultrasound around the end of April, so you can post your votes now about gender. I'm not giving you any hints yet :) Maybe I'll post some later on!
