My baby has kennel cough

Or at least that's what we've told him.

His first week of daycare and he got a fever, a cough, and a stuffed up nose, and then the little disease bag passed it onto me. I have probably the worst sore throat of my existence and a really painful sinus area. My throat is so sore it woke me up in the middle of the night and I had to take some Advil for the pain. Left work early because I couldn't function. And then Christian came home complaining of nausea. I think he just felt left out (really, I do).

And so it begins. Life with a baby in daycare. Cohen's pediatrician said to expect 8-12 viruses a year. We can now put one under our belt. Oh well, it could be worse. Chicken pox, strep throat and scurvy were all going around his daycare last week. Next week: typhoid, the Plague, and rickets. Fingers crossed that polio won't hit anytime soon.
