Ears!

Ahh!  I think I just need to vent.  I apologize ahead of time.  But I am so sick of my girls being sick!  Anytime they have gotten a cold, they get ear infections!  And it's not even the dead of winter yet!  I just took them into the Dr. to get a check up from ear infections that they all had a month ago (addy has had 2 separate sets of ear infections in the past month) and then I find out that Hailey has ear infections in both ears, emily has an ear infection in her right ear that popped, and Addy still has fluid in her ears even though she should be better since she is done with her antibiotics.  AHH!  Now they all need to see an Ear Nose and Throat doctor to see about getting tubes put in their ears.  I feel so bad for them!  Hailey had a high fever...and Addy has had a world record of poopy diapers because of the back to back meds that she was on...and they are allergic to penicillin drugs which means they are building up a resistance to the drug that they usually get....so now we have to go into the really weird less common drugs and then our pharmacy didn't carry it...and so yea, it just makes everything complicated when I have 3 babies in their winter coats with ear infections sitting in the car.  Thank the LORD for my mother in law!  She has a full time job of helping me!!  I just wish that everyone who had colds would always stay home....but I know that's impossible...so then I feel like WE should just get ready to stay home all winter again to avoid getting sick.  It's just NOT worth it for them to get colds...because they turn into so much more.  And last winter, they were healthy cuz we didn't go anywhere and everyone was so careful with germs around us!  It's just no fun having 3 sick babies at home and I feel so helpless! Sorry for venting....I just want my baby girls to be HEALTHY for more than one week!  And I would like to be able to get out of the house without having to worry that they are for sure going to get ANOTHER cold/ear ache combo!  Hopefully this winter goes by fast... 

and I know, I could have it soooo much worse.  I need a good dose of 'perspective' right now.
