Is there a dance or a prayer that can be said to make the sick fairy stay away from our house? 2010 has not been good to us so far in that category. Peter and I both had the stomach virus to start of the new year.

Then on Monday, January 4th I was in Urgent Care in excruciating pain and after several tests it was suspected that I had a kidney stone. I had a CT scan done the following day which confirmed that I had a 7.5 mm stone in my left kidney. I met with the Urologist this past week and I am going to have to have a lithotripsy done (shock waves sent to my kidney to break the stone up) and that procedure is going to be January 29th.

Drew got sick this past week running a 103.2 fever and complaining of his throat hurting. So off to the doctor we went and he was diagnosed with strep-throat. The doctor looked at Ryan and was concerned with his nose (it was crusty and had red splotches on his skin around his nose) and the doctor said that you can get strep in the nose as well which could cause impetigo. So he gave us a prescription for anti-biotics for him as well and we were told to watch him to see if he got worse. Well…Ryan is now on anti-biotics too. But both boys are feeling better and Drew was able to return to school on Wednesday.

Now, Peter is sick with a fever and general ickiness and Im just hoping that it stays away from me. UGH!
