Caleb has stayed healthy all through the fever/cough epidemic of 2013. Until yesterday. He woke up with a fever of 103.5, was given medicine, and sent back to bed. I'm tempted to change the name of my blog to Three Doses of Motrin since it feels like that's all I've been writing about lately. What is it like to be living in Bahrain? I have no idea since I've been mostly quarantined to the house or car for the last few weeks.
Ironically, where am I writing this post? From the waiting room at the Navy Medical Clinic, but not because of Caleb. Last night
girlie started running a fever
again (4th time in 3 weeks) so I had to bring her in to see if we could finally get to the bottom of this. The pediatrician is positive it's a sinus infection. Which makes my googling of "leukemia symptoms in toddlers" last night seem a little ridiculous.
waiting for drugs!
Camille was on antibiotics before (after week 1), but it was discovered later that she was prescribed the incorrect dose for her weight, so it wasn't doing anything. But the fact that she was on antibiotics and wasn't getting better confused the issue which is why she's still sick almost a month later. I'm hoping this new antibiotic will kick it once and for all and I can start writing about Bahrain and stop writing about fevers and coughs.

Hi Robin,
Wish I were there and I could take care of the children so that you could get out.
I love your new rug. I miss all of you so much.
Love,
AG
