Infected Family!!!

Man! What a rough week we had. It all started Monday morning when our little guy woke up with puffy, swollen, eyes. I was for sure preschool would probably turn us into CPS because it looked like Barrett had a black eye. I thought it was allergies. By 3:30 that afternoon, his eyes had dark red circles around them and a thick discharge seeping out of the corners (gross and sad). Poor little baby kept rubbing them, but maintained a huge smile and lovable attitude as I shipped him off to the doctor (visit #1). Yep, it was pink eye, in both eyes!!!!
*Don't even get me started on the horrible pharmacy issues I had waiting around on prescriptions to be filled. Long story short, I hung around with a 16 month old (who looked horrible might I add) for over 1 1/2 hours! Ridiculous!!!)
The following morning (when it seemed to be the worse), his eyes were completely swollen shut (or should I say stuck). It was heartbreaking. He was trying to open them, and couldn't. Talk about making a mommy cry!!!!
Luckily, the pink eye didn't last but a day. Once we applied the eye drops a few times, he was all cleared up (Tuesday afternoon).
Thursday rolled around, and BAM...Barrett woke up running temperature at a low grade. Well, you all know me. What did I do???? FREAK OUT MODE! All I could think was FLU! I stayed home Barrett and we spent the majority of the day snuggling, sleeping, and reading books. Since I had parent conferences that afternoon, Matt took over the evening shift, and when I got home....BOTH BOYS were running a temperature. Matt has some type of upper respiratory infection and Barrett's temp. was up to 103!
The fever continued over night, so Friday morning we set up a doctor's appointment (visit #2) to get Barrett tested, and Matt stayed home to rest as well.
God is great! The doctor said it was just a viral infection and by the afternoon, Barrett's fever was down and he was back to normal.
Matt on the other hand, has a major sinus infection, and Friday I lost my voice! My throat felt (still feels) like it is on fire, and I have coughing fits...but other than that, I feel okay.
Can someone say, "Get out the Clorox wipes and Lysol the entire house?"
Trust me! I did just that over the weekend. I've washed sheets, pillows, blankets, cushions, rugs, and used Lysol on so many things, the fumes only could possibly knock you down!

I hope this upcoming week is better!
