January 24

We have been sick all fall and winter. The latest round started when Sophie got RSV a couple of days before Christmas. Calvin got it next. Several of our other kids got sick with what seemed like RSV only since they were older it wasn't so bad. Then, Calvin got sick AGAIN. He had a fever and said repeatedly that his ear was "broken." He put himself to bed TWICE before lunch! The second time was so sad! He was sitting on the couch with me and suddenly jumped off and ran down the hall crying. I followed him and watch as he ran right into his room, climbed in bed and pulled up the covers. It was pretty cute! (In a sad way!)

 I took him to the doctor and he did have an ear infection... in fact, it was about ready to burst! As a baby/toddler he only had 1 ear infection, but in the last five months he has had a few. I am not sure what to think about that! He started antibiotics and pain killers in the afternoon, by the evening he was doing well.
