It seems that the Martins have been very sick for the past few months. Much sicker than they've ever been. Starting in about November we've been taking some sort of medicine or another.
Last Friday the boys woke up coughing and before anything got too out of control I got them into the doctor. I had heard the cough before when Cash had croup so I didn't want to have to go down that path again. Turns out the boys were in need of a doctor but they had completely different ailments.
Cooper had a double ear infection and croup. Cash had a sinus infection (i hope this is why he was picking his nose so much) and laryngitis. They both got some antibiotics and are on the road to recovery - again.
We also got prescription strength lotion for their poor hands. They wash their hands at school every time they turn around and Cash has some pretty nasty rashes from how dry his skin gets. I was even worried that he's caused scaring and permanent discoloration. So hopefully we can remember to put this lotion on them 2x a day.

poor guys. hope you all feel better soon. hopefully by next year they'll have acclimated to all the germs at their new school and will breeze through the cold season.
My hands are so dry from washing them all the time, too. They bleed.
