Antibiotics All Around!

The kids have both been really under the weather, including coughs, fever, congestion, and eyes glued shut. I mean really glued shut! We had to use a warm wet washcloth on Aila's eyes several times before they could open up at all. So we paid a visit to Dr. McGee, and sure enough in addition to all the other stuff, after checking both Trevor and Aila she announced, "Four ears, four ear infections!" So we're underway with some Amoxicillin (which smells chalky and orange--whatever happened to the bright pink yummy bubble gum flavored stuff from my childhood?) and hope to be up and running before Thanksgiving.

We also did Aila's weight check when we saw Dr. McGee. I was hoping for at least 14 pounds, but no go. She's 13 pounds 6 ounces. She was 13 pounds 3 ounces at her 9 month check up, and an even 13 pounds three whole months before that. So while I was hoping she'd gained a bit more, Dr. McGee pointed out that in 25 days she'd gained what she'd previously gained in 3 months. So we'll take it! And maybe we'll slip Aila some turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy on Thanksgiving. :)
