Sick and Tired...

After finding out that Eva had cancer last week, Mikayla started to get a cold. She seemed to have some sniffles on Saturday March 15, but nothing we were too worried about. Then Sunday came and we could tell that the cold took hold. This is her second cold and was different than her first one. Last time she was stuffed up with little nasal drainage. This time she was (is) like a faucet. We had to stop giving her solid foods because she would start to cough and then throw up everything she ate. I noticed on that Monday (when she was crying) that the back of her throat was red, so eating solids just irritated it.

So last week we took her to the doctor and found out that she had ear infections in both ears. We have started her on antibiotics to help with the infections, but now we have non-smelling poop. Why is this important? I have not been able to tell if she has gone to the bathroom like I used to.

So with Eva being sick and needing to go out a lot more than usual and Mikayla sick and needing more attention Mark and I are more tired than usual. I know that I am going to jinx us by saying this, but we have not gotten what Mikayla has/had so that has helped a great deal. What is happening now is both of us are doing school, taking care of Eva and Mikayla, trying to give as much attention to the other pups as well. So we are much more tired than ever.
