Are we ever all healthy?

Ok, so I'm starting to think I could start my own blog about medical problems or sicknesses in our family. It feels like there is at least one person sick for every day of the year.

As most of you know Olivia got an ear infection back in the end of January. She was put on 10 days of antibiotics, then 3 days later she had another ear infection, they put her on another 10 days of antibiotics, and now again 3 days later another ear infection. We've really just determined that the first infection still hasn't gone away - meaning her right ear has been infected since the end of January. Poor little baby!

Then last week I brought Jack in to the ENT only to find out that his left tube is infected and his right ear is infected. It's sad because he showed absolutely no signs of being sick or having an ear infection. The doctor said that because his tubes are currently not functioning and he got an ear infection that they will need to go in and remove his old tubes and put new ones in. She told us to check our calendars in the next 3 - 4 weeks to have that surgery done.

So, if Olivia's ear infection doesn't clear up this time we could be having both kids in for tube surgery in the next few weeks. Ugh!

Steve and I joke that our house has more meds that a pharmacy. Here's just a look at our current daily meds...
