Germs, germs go away!

A nasty, annoying cold germ has been targeting our household lately.

Target #1 - Kellen
Symptoms - goopy red eyes, stuffy nose and a cough.
Diagnosis - Pink eye (surprise, surprise) and his cold created an incessant cough which (along with the pink eye) kept him home from preschool two weeks ago. He's all better now, but occasionally coughs still

Target #2 - Curren
Symptoms - cough, a slight stuffy nose, and eventually pinkish looking goopy eyes
Diagnosis - A nasty bug that mimics RSV which created low oxygen levels, a rapid HR, little appetite and a double ear infection. He also worried us when I had taken him in thinking he had pink eye too and discovered the above mentioned problems. He's on the mend now with antibiotics and his appetite has returned. Along with his cheery disposition.

Target #3 - Aidan
Symptoms - cough, stuffy, runny nose and last night up from 12:30am-6am complaining/whimpering about his ear hurting. (Ibuprofen did NOT help him.)
Diagnosis - ear infection. Did you know they have chewable antibiotics? Sweet!

These germs are not welcome in our house. I don't want anyone else getting sick so go away germs! Don't come back again. Shoo, shoo!
