I hate cold and flu season

So, it's October. The leaves have turned beautiful shades of orange, red and yellow. The air is crisp and cool. It's time for sweater weather, football...

and the stupid flu.

Both boys have had a virus the last week. Andrew worse than Nicholas. High fever, bad cough. It's been fun. Because it's a virus, I knew the doctor couldn't do anything for him, so we have been home, resting and drinking fluids all week. Andrew was getting better, so he went to school yesterday for the first time this week. He made it until about 3:30 and got another fever. So, I decided it was time for the doctor.

I normally hate going to the doctor for viruses. I always feel like a failure when we make the effort to drive there, he gets checked and we leave with nothing more than a prescription for rest and fluids. I could've done that!

But today was different. He has an ear infection. We got a prescription.

Score!
