You won't believe the day Rose and I had yesturday! The kids have all been sick on and off for a few months and this past week they've had some eye goobers that have gotten pretty nasty! So, we decided it was time to take them to the doctor! ALL OF US!!! We made an appointment together 'cause I don't have a car and it's easier to have two adults even though there is double the amount of children. When they called us back, they only called Rose's kids and I said "plus the other Maughans... right?" She said she wasn't sure they were related 'cause of the different parents... but we explained they are cousins and so we all went to the teeny room together. We created a line at the "weigh station" and when we saw the doctor he had to go around the room looking at everybody's eyes and then ears and then he decided he'd better go one at a time so as not to confuse the results. This was after discovering that not only did Noah have an eye infection, but also two infected ears. Next was Lauren... goopy eyes and what do you know! Ear infection... right ear. Then Hyrum, who is SUPPOSED to get chronic ear infections due to the cleft... did NOT have one.... just some goopies. Then Brayden.... goopy eyes and yet again.. ANOTHER ear infection (right ear). Well, the dr. was just teasing emma and noticed some goopies in her eye (she wasn't scheduled for a visit). So, he decided to check her ears too! Right ear infection. Anyone noticing a pattern? You'd think these kids lived together or something! ;o) So, an hour and a half later, we left the dr. office with 5 sick kids! Can you believe it!!!!! Just keep your fingers crossed that the mommies don't get it! So THEN we had to pick up everybodies antibiotics and eye drops. Apparently this eye thing is going around 'cause there was only one bottle left! Luckily, faithful Walmart had some in stock. NOW you should see the fiasco of trying to get everybody their meds! the babies can't fight back much, so that wasn't a biggie, Noah actually thought it was funny, but poor Emma.... I had to hold her head between my knees while holding her arms down so that Rose could hold her eyes open to put the drops in! After that traumatizing event... Emma kept saying " I wanna go to aunt Taralee's!!!!" So, we let her call Taralee and she quickly changed her mood. Well.... until she got off the phone, then I just felt so bad for the poor girl... she was tired and kept crying and saying, "i'm siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!" Real sad like! but, it was kinda funny too, 'cause at the dr. office she insisted that she WAS NOT SICK! ;o) Anyway... so nobody come visit us for a few days!

Holy crap! Are ear infections contagious?!?!?! At Jonas's appointment, he had a mild ear infection in both ears. He had been rubbing them, but never had a fever and was never grouchy or anything. And he has had an eye infection that comes and goes, so I've got the drops on hand. He's got a clogged tear duct, so that is why it is getting infected. I hope everyone gets feeling better.
