Sick Babies

For the first time, we have a child (well, two actually) sick enough to take to the doctor.  All of our boys have been remarkably healthy!  That means that in our 32 months of being parents, we've never really had a sick child.

In the past two weeks Harvick and Jarrett have had a runny nose, and a bit of congestion.  No consistent cough (only occasionally), no fever (even low-grade), and no real changes in their appetite or dispositions.  They both have teeth thisclose to cutting through.

Tuesday they started to seem to be a bit more congested, and Jarrett's eye started to seem a bit goopy.  Yesterday they were still happy, still ate everything, and happy to play.  But, we noticed that Jarrett had scratched up his left ear - he didn't seem to be pulling/rubbing it (possibly indicating an ear infection) - so, we figured he had just scratched it, or Harvick had scratched it.  However, thismorning, Jarrett woke up with his right eye matted shut, and Harvick had green snot rubbed (and dried) all over his cheeks and hands.

Turns out, both babies have sinus infections.  Harvick's is worse than Jarrett's.  But, Jarrett also has a right eye infection and a left ear infection.

Poor boys.

So, instead of a new post with fun pictures, you just get this update.  We're always busy in the evenings, but with 2 sick babies, there just isn't enough time.
