In January I was diagnosed with strep throat. Upon finishing my antibiotic I got more canker sores on the back of my tongue, soft palate and throat than should ever be humanly possible. I ate jello for a long time. Brian was diagnosed with strep a few days after my canker sores calmed down a bit and since my throat was still killing me too, they treated me for strep again. This led to yet another round of canker sores. Thankfully, I knew to expect them and treated them much more quickly on round 2. But I still felt like crap. So I went back to the doctor where I admitted to having weird sores in weird places. (I should've copped up this sooner, but frankly I was embarrassed.) At this point I was diagnosed with a full body staph infection and was given an antibiotic ointment to put up my nose twice a day. Before I really felt better I woke up one morning with my eye swollen shut. Sure enough, I had a staph stye. So I started another round of oral antibiotics. Which, you guessed it, led to another round of canker sores! But again, I had a handle on them this time and they never got out of control.

It's been about 2 weeks now that I have felt all the way better. I am so thankful for that. I have never been so sick in my life in one winter. First the flu and then this craziness!
During all of this we got quite a lot of snow. I was never so sick during the snow days that I had to be in bed all day, so I did make sure to get the kids outside to play in the snow. It wore me out each time, but was so worth it to see them having fun!
