Everyone's Sick

Another bout where the entire family is sick, and those who aren't are staying away with good reason.
I failed to take Sam to the doctor, since he never manifested a fever, and I figured he could articulate (or at least scream) if something really hurt.
After waiting way too long, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia, then GrandJoe took Sam in, only to find out that he had an ear infection "in addition to his upper respiratory infection."  To be fair, I had been on the phone with them earlier in the week and they told me not to bring him in without a fever, to treat him "symptomatically."  Chris scheduled to go to the doctor tomorrow morning.
So now we are attempting to rest.  Ha.  An 18 month rests the first day, and sporadically after that.  And Mama gets to chase him around and encourage quiet activities that don't involve "zooming,"  as well as battle out taking medicine.
He has been very good all things considered and as yucky as he feels.  Of course, after not saying a thing about not feeling good, other than "boogs" when he had snot running down his face, he told me last night after the doctor, "Mama, mouth hurt (I'm assuming throat).  Ear hurt."  Awesome.  Helpful information a few hours or days ago.
Hopefully this will all be over soon, going on four days of missed work and emailing choppy sub plans.
