On the first day of sickness, my February gave to me.

On the first day of sickness, my February gave to me:

A very, very, very sick child.

On the second day of sickness, my February gave to me:

Two Ibuprofens, and a very, very, sick child.

Three days of TV, two Ibuprofens, and a very, very, sick child.

On the fourth day of sickness, my February gave to me:

Four sleepless nights, three days of TV, two Ibuprofens, and a very, very, sick child.

On the fifth day of sickness, my February gave to me:

Five sick Spencers, four sleepless nights, three days of TV, two Ibuprofens, and a very, very, sick child.

On the sixth day of sickness, my February gave to me:

Six ear infections, five sick Spencers, four sleepless nights, three days of TV, two Ibuprofens, and a very, very, very sick child.

Do you want me to go on? (I was going to go all the way to 10, since someone has been sick for the past ten days). Needless to say, my kids have all been sick and cranky! I finally took them to Urgent Care facility, and I completely overwhelmed the Doctor. (Have you ever done that?) She could not keep the children straight. Now I have three perscriptions of Amoxicillian to deliver, and each child is on a different dose and schedule. (She must have thought I was Supermom to keep track of it all!) I did, however, make a super chart so I remember when and who got some medicine!

(They would get better for a while, and then get sick again. There was only a few days where all three were completely miserable!)

Next year: flu shots--I don't want February to give us any more sickness!
