Well, shocker, Elizabeth has a sinus infection. She has become more boogery and has had more drainage over the past couple of weeks, until this past weekend, when she kept clearing her throat and her voice sounded like her nose was congested. So, after a call to our wonderful ENT (who got us in the next day - I love them) and her appointment on Tuesday, she is on Bactrim 3 x a day. I have to say that I think she is improving already. He did take a "nose culture" much to Elizabeth's chagrin - it made her eyes water but she did an excellent job and begged for a Webkinz - but I am such a mean mom, I said no, how about a snack and a drink from the gift shop instead. So, we'll see if the culture suggests she should have a different antibiotic or if in fact she is on the right one - which he chose because of her culture result in February (when she wasn't sick so we didn't treat it). So, we are hanging in there.
Miles is still coughing but his runny nose is clear and it has only been a couple of days this go 'round - we'll just keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't get Croup again.
Just the same old stuff around here! More storms tonight - hopefully not as bad as last time. But, time to unplug the computer in anticipation of loads of lightening.
