back to reality.

So Mick headed back to school today and left me sick with a sick baby. What a smack in the face way to enter back into the real world. Seriously, I am SO thankful that we stayed semi-well over the holiday's that being sick right now is ok I guess. I prayed specifically that God would keep Micah and I well for Christmas because last year was so bad. (Like I said I prayed specifically and left Mick out because he never gets sick...opps...except when I don't pray for him) But other than Mick being sick we had a great break with lots of family time, showering somewhat independently and getting to eat meals with both hands every now and again. But we are back to the land of mommy and me and Micah and I did it up right. I have been fighting a sore throat and Micah has been running a low grade fever. Then today in honor of Mick going back to school he really started to burn up. We ended up at the dr office where they say he has a viral throat infection. It is viral now and no need for antibiotics, but in a week if he isn't better it will be bacterial. I think that is how they work it these days. I truly don't know how you can just tell the difference by looking. I guess that is what they went to school for, huh? I am not knocking the dr it just seems like you never get a definite answer as to what is wrong with your child these days. It is just hard for a Momma not to be able to do anything. But then on the otherhand it isn't strep throat so it will just work itself out, so if it really is then I am oh so glad. Time will tell though...

The picture of Micah is from a few days ago. He refused to take the swimmies off to slide or get in the car for that matter. It has nothing to do with today but I find it hard to post without a picture.
