The past week and a half has been rough for Henry. What I thought was a mild cold or a simple runny nose due to bipolar weather turned out to be parainfluenza. A simple virus that I guess we are exposed to so many times by the time we are 4 or 5 that we are basically immune. Much older than that and the worst you're going to get is a mild cold. (Unless you're going through chemo or something.) The sad part is that it can cause croup, bronchitis, ear infections, and a bunch of other icky things.
Last week Henry had the flu thing. Friday it turned into croup. By Sunday it was ear infections. He wasn't really getting better plus he was occasionally complaining about his ear. Singular. The right one. In reality, both are infected. Poor Henry. I hope he feels better soon!

:( Poor little guy! I hope he's over it now! I think our fun is just beginning. Leah threw up twice tonight. Ugh. Gotta love winter. And nursery.
