My last blog was all about how someone in our house is always sick or injured.

That is still true.

Monday night/Tuesday morning Nic and I spent 9 hours in the ER after he knocked his noggin falling out of a playground climber.  I had no idea how awful head traumas could be, and even though his concussion is not bad by any medical measure, it still has him suffering nausea, headaches, and sleepiness.  

This afternoon I took the babies to their Doc.  Double ear infections.  For both of them.  I now have three bottles of antibiotics in my fridge for three different boys.

I am ready for a season of healthy.  Ready for everyone to be good. 

We have gotten the major sickies out of the way for the season and so should be good until Spring, right?  Isn't that how it works?

I know it isn't.  And I know several families close to us struggling through long-term diagnoses.  I will not take for granted that time and meds will fix up my babies just fine.  I will not take for granted that we have insurance that covers 99% of our doctors visits, ER visits, prescriptions, and have a nurse line to call with questions.  I will not take for granted all those good things and healthy times.
