My good friend from BYU made a comment on her blog the other day that I must reiterate. She has four children, three of which have been very sick lately. After the umpteenth visit to the doctor toting three sick children, she wanted to tell the nurse behind the counter, like Dan in "Dan In Real Life" to the police officer writing him a ticket, "Put it on my tab." I laughed so hard when I read that. I mean, haven't we all been there? We had so many visits to the doctors over the holidays, for puenemonia, ear infections, pink eye, and a sinus infection, and those were just the visits that produced diagnoses.
Today, unfortunately I will say it again at 11am, "Put it on my tab." Jaden has had a fever since yesterday afternoon, and despite rotating tylenol and motrin every four hours, has not receded. He couldn't sleep all night (which of course meant, neither could Carter nor I). So off we go to the doctors again...

You know it is winter when your doctor's co-pays equal the amount you spend on groceries in a month! I hope Jaden is doing better already. I know strep is going around (because Zach had it) although our doc was awesome and said if any of the kids came down with the same symptoms we could just call it in and she'd send a prescription to the pharmacy! Miraculously we didn't need it, as none of the other boys got it! Sending healthy thoughts your way!
I am happy that I gave you a laugh! I also hope that Jaden gets well soon! Sick kids are no fun for anyone. Hopefully, he won't pass it along to Carter. If there is anything worse than one sick kid, it is multiple sick children! Hang in there. It'll all work out.
I hope all is well soon. Summer, summer, summer, let me count the ways.
