R and I have been sick for past few weeks, and just started to recover. After our visit to ChildFind (who gave us the go ahead to homeschool for 2 years, YAY!), he got a cold, which I also caught. We recovered in time, or so we thought, for our family vacation to Japan, which was awesome. But coming home, R went down with bad ear pain, and got otitis media (middle ear infection).
He was put on antibiotics, but the sleepless nights of caring for him got to me and I succumbed. I'm on the mend now, still not 100% but getting there.
I did do a lot of thinking time while I was recovering, and encountered a couple of posts that were comforting.
