A Spring Break to Forget

This past week was Lily's spring break at school.  We didn't have anything big planned and expected it to be just a calm, normal week.  We were wrong.  Liz and the girls started to feel badly at the beginning of the week.  On Wednesday, Liz felt awful and needed to take the day to rest; thankfully her doctor from Birmingham was able to call in a prescription to help her start to mend.  Ryan took Mia to the doctor Wednesday morning because her ear looked terrible; yep, another ear infection so we started her on antibiotics and drops.  On Thursday, I couldn't even get to work my throat was hurting so badly.  Ryan took me to urgent care where I was diagnosed with strep throat and told to stay away from others for 24 hours while I was contagious.  That's not a good thing this time of year!  I still felt pretty miserable most of Friday too so I stayed home from work that day.  I took a penicillin shot on Thursday, so thankfully I am much better 48 hours later.  Lily gave complaints here and there throughout the week but just didn't seem like herself.  On Saturday morning Ryan took her to the doctor, and sure enough, she was diagnosed with strep and an ear infection, so now she's on antibiotics.  Wow, what a week!  This is a spring break for the record books, and one I would like to soon forget!
