can my boys catch a break???...

My goodness, I am so done with the sickness!!! John has been home for a little over a week, and both boys are sick again!!! They were both good for the weekend, then the congestion and cough started! It has been a week now and they both STILL have it!!! I have been taking my "Airborne" and knock on wood- I am still healthy! Keep your fingers crossed that I stay that way!!! When John is able to get his sleep in, he feels a ton better, but he has been working crazy long hours, and it doesn't help that he is working nights this week- and we are pretty loud during the day so it isn't easy for him to sleep! Maybe he can sleep all weekend and get better!!!:) I took Eric to the doctor's yesterday because I just wanted to make sure that he only had a cold and nothing worse. They asked if his eyes were red- I said no. They asked if they were seeping anything- I said no. Well, well well! That was yesterday morning, and sure enough, yesterday afternoon- here comes the seeping! This morning he had so much crusty goop that he could hardly open his eyes! I called for a nurse phone consultation at 7:30- and by 1:30 I hadn't heard anything, and now his eyes were as red as red can be!!! I called back and they said to bring him in. Well he now has pink eye AND an ear infection! They put him on an antibiotic, so thankfully I don't have to use eye drops! I just couldn't handle holding him down and trying to drop medicine in his little eyes- poor little guy! He takes the liquid antibiotic pretty well- thank God! Anyway, keep him in your prayers that he gets better (I guess the antibiotic will kill anything else that is lurking in his little body), and that he stays well- both of them!!!
Poor little man- he even looks so sick!!!:(

Poor Eric! That's terrible that he has 2 infections at once. I hope he gets better soon.

That haircut is so cute, though. It makes him look like such a big boy!
