Our week, by the numbers

With the hacking coughs, the 2 a.m. fever spikes and the never-ending cycle of nasal suctioning going on around here, our family is pushing the limits of just how much two sick parents can handle without going totally insane. So far, we're holding steady at mildly crazy. If you do the math, you'll see why:
  • 10 days spent indoors
  • 9 doctor's visits
  • 5 antibiotics
  • 4 trips to the pharmacy
  • 3 strep tests
  • 3 ear infections
  • 3 sinus infections
  • 3 bottles of nasal saline spray
  • 2 flu tests
  • 1 bottle of children's ibuprofen
  • 1 bottle of infant acetaminophen
  • 1 episode of fever-induced delirium
  • 1 neti pot
We're quarantined until further notice. With stats like these, you should be glad our family is staying home.
