I hate winter!!

Every winter its the same ol' thing. Colds, sinus infections, coughing, sneezing, yuck yuck yuck! The whole family has been practically quarantined since early December fighting off this horrible cold that just won't go away. Why can't other sick people do the same? Lili just got back today from her 2nd doc appt in a week. She was on the antibiotic Omnicef all of last week for an ear infection (also fighting a bad cold). Took her back in today with no improvment (and worries about her extreme lack of appetite) and lo & behold she's got a DOUBLE ear infection! What was that antibiotic? A placebo?!?! Jack had the same antibiotic in December and his ear infection cleared up only to get another one in his other ear during the course of the medicine. *grumble* Another antibiotic round (Zithromax) knocked it right out for him. Lili is on Augmentin now. Now there are two antibiotics that act as a placebo for my kiddos: amoxicillin & omnicef. Stay away from both!! Please pray that Lili gets her appetite back. She was doing so well and is only a month away from her weight check that will "OK" her g-tube removal. They won't be so willing to remove her g-tube if she loses weight. I was hoping to pick up her first bikini for this summer once they took the thing out.
