The Tomlinson Family

Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness—both our own and that of our children—than how well we love and support one another within the family... M. Russell Ballard

House of sickos!

I feel like my family is always sick. Seriously! I would venture a guess and say that most of my local friends would agree. I'm wondering if we just have weak immune systems or if we have a germ factory running in our A/C. Either way, we are a house of sickos and I'm sick of it! I swear that we wash our hands regularly and clean our house at least once a month... :)


As of today:

- My 4-year-old has a "horribly nasty" ear infection that must be "ridiculously painful". ("" is the quote of the doctor diagnosing it.)

- My 2-year-old has a double ear infection.

- My 8-month-old has a double ear infection, a yeast infection, and RSV!


To go back a couple more weeks, I had Strep over Christmas, and John had Strep over Thanksgiving. We are falling apart here, people!


No picture of our nastiness. Wish us speedy recoveries!

I would agree with you that I think that your family is always sick! I feel bad for your kids and their ear infections and whatnot. Not fun at all! I had strep the second week of december. Did you give it to me or did I give it to you? I hope you all get feeling better soon so that we can get together sometime in the near future!

Woah -- I thought we had it bad (all of us our sick, too -- but just colds) -- that made me cringe to read about!! Hope everyone feels better soon! And I hope you're getting some rest (but somehow I doubt it).

So so so sorry! We were a houseful of sickos last week and I will tell you- stir crazy and grumpy to boot! I feel your pain! FEEL BETTER SOON! :)

I don't think it is just you. We have been sick at our house since Christmas and just keep passing it around.

I hope that you all get better soon! Maybe a change of climate? We have a guest room and warm weather! Just saying! :)
