Sick Kiddos


Both of our kids are sick. I just feel so bad for them. Jack can't breathe through his nose , therefore, he can't suck his thumb, so then, he does not go to sleep easily. He is so snugly with his Momma, though! I love it. Mia was up several times last night coughing and she kept saying, "I'm sick. I need medicine." So, needless to say, it will be another day cooped up in the house for the Laughlin's! Oh, yeah, did I mention that my "Dr." husband is avidly against children taking antibiotics unless they absolutely need it. He blames the overuse of antibiotics for the rising number of drug-resistant strains of bacteria. He says that the body will naturally fight it off with it's own antibodies, it just takes longer. I've been told that that's just what it is like living with a Dr. "I love you, babe;)" So, we are using lots of Tylenol, ibuprofen, and homeopathic ear drops!

I know that Heath is super busy, but what does he think about ear infections and tubes and all that. We are suppose to go back to the ear specialist to see David's ears again in a couple of weeks. He is an older doctor that seems alot like a mad scientist. I just do not want to put tubes in his ears if it is really not needed. I hope your little ones bounce back quickly!
