Jimmy is Sick

Jimmy has his first school time sniffles. He was complaining Wednesday night that his throat was hurting and sure enough Thursday morning he woke up with a runny nose. Poor Kid. He was happy though, because since he was sick Eric had to take the morning off, because I had a doctor's appointment with my OB that I couldn't miss. I have a recurring UTI that just won't die and we need to talk about the birth control pill she put me on for my endometriosis. I think it is suppressing the cramps, but lately I have been having weird hormonal issues making me even crazier than normal. Anyway, Jimmy was ecstatic to stay home with Dad. I got to the doctor and they said the appointment is next Thursday. My wonderful husband and his equally wonderful boss just shrugged it off and said "Oh well". Hopefully Jimmy won't get sick next week too, but knowing my luck he will. Jimmy is home again today (the nose is running even more and he sounds congested in his chest). His little friend Brock that lives behind us and who we carpool with was sick yesterday too. He is back in school today though. I asked his Mother what she did to him and she said she used her Witch Doctor ways on him (rubbing him with eucalyptus and frankincense and making him drink water every hour). I might have to try it.
