THE DEHAVEN FAMILY

We are a military family, just beginning our lives in this whole new adventure! My husband, Matt, is in the U.S. Navy and works as a hospital corpsman. We have two beautiful daughters, Finley, 5 and Charli Lyn, 20 months. We feel so blessed to have each other and to take on this new lifestyle together.

Sick...AGAIN!

So for the third time now, both Finley and Charli are trying to conquer this cold stream that is going around. Poor girls! Finley seems to be so much better today, but if you were to ask me last Thursday or Friday, I would have just said, we are all dying over here!! Finley has begun to get all those preschool germs and spread them through the house..over and over again. I know that this all happens when kids start school, but seriously, we have been battling this off and on since before Christmas! When is it going to end?? Now that Charli has retracted this stuff and seemed to be having such a difficult time kicking it, I decided to take her to the doctor yesterday. Between the sneezing, coughing, and fever, it was definitely time to go. So as a result, Charli was examined well and thoroughly, and was diagnosed with a right ear infection, a left ear middle ear infection (just beginning), and the beginning of a sinus infection! I didn't know a body could deal with all three of those things at the same time! No wonder she is completely miserable!!!
I was trying to understand why she was always crying and whining and wanting to be held....let alone couldn't sleep for more than 30 minutes without waking up to something...like coughing or a high fever. Because as all moms know, if the baby is miserable, so are you!!!!
With Finley sick last week and Charli catching it right on top of Finley, sleep in our house has been, well lets just say, very minimal!! I'm strongly hoping these antibiotics work and kick in soon so we can all relax, feel better and catch up on our sleep!!!
