Is there anything worse than a sick kid? Yes, two sick kids!

Jacob came home from school two weeks ago with a fever, pink eye, and ear infection. One day later Ethan had all the same symptoms. Ethan got better, but Jacob's symptoms kept getting worse. He had spiked fevers everyday, was dizzy, had migraines, chest congestion, and severe stomach cramps. In one week Jacob had a CT Scan of his brain and abdomen, a urinalysis, and blood work. All tests came back negative, except for the fact that he has a sinus infection. His doctor was stumped and so was a surgeon that we went to. Jacob has been on antibiotics and allergy medication for two weeks and is finally getting better! When a child is sick it seems as though time stops and won't start again until they are felling good! I am just now getting back to my schedule, hopefully the school year will go by with no more sick days!

He never stopped smiling!
