Going On 3 Weeks Sick!

Well, Amy is sick again/still, I don't know! She has had a temp for 2 days now, and the doctor finally put her on penicillin to treat her for a bronchial infection. He says he just wants to be sure that it doesn't turn into pneumonia. Boy, these kids are testing their mommy's endurance so far this winter! It is now going onto 3 weeks that one or more of my family have been sick with something. I think I am going to have to take a long holiday somewhere!
Oh well, it is just so hard when your kids are sick. Yesterday I felt so helpless, I coudn't get her temperature down, and she was just so lethargic (which if you know Amy is not her style!). But, she was still trying to be happy. By this morning though, she just couldn't even hold her head up and everything was "no" or "go". She just didn't want anyone near her. It breaks your heart when your kids are suffering and there isn't anything you can do.
And, I also want to point out, to my sister especially, that it doesn't help either when you have a near-broken arm/shoulder from slipping on ice out behind the bank. Makes it very hard to pick up your sick child!
