Please Go Away

This is directed to all serious, not so serious, and just down right annoying illnesses that have invaded our home in the past few months.

Here's' what's been going down . . .

Nate--flu
Nate--pneumonia
Jenna-fever
Jenna-ear infection
Abby-fever
Nate-more pneumonia that wouldn't go away
Lots of coughing by everyone.
Jenna-pink eye
Jenna-pink eye, again
Jenna-Fifth's Disease (common childhood illness that is actually a virus and causes fever/rash)
Jenna-fever
Abby-pink eye
Abby-fever
Abby-possible ear infection (doctor's appointment tomorrow)

Notice that my name is not listed there? Yay for staying healthy. I somewhat attribute this to my new love for the supplement, Airborne. Have any of you heard of it? I have been taking it over the past few months and have stayed pretty healthy. Healthy enough to take care of all the sickos in our house!

Also notice that most of these illnesses aren't anything serious, other than the pneumonia. They are just annoying. And I am thankful for annoying because the girls could be much sicker than they are. But I still am requesting that they leave our presence.

I suspect that all of this has something to do with all of us being exposed to different people all day. I work at a school, Jenna is in preschool every day, and Abby is in daycare in the mornings. Maybe we're just building up our immunities .. . who knows.

I am hoping that tomorrow's doctor's appointment is the end of it. You'll know I've gone crazy if you see a post about me getting pink eye. Now wouldn't that be lovely?
