Well, we have been hit by the first round of winter colds. Samuel was pretty hoarse Sunday night but we figured it was due to a busy weekend. Monday morning he was a bit worse with a runny nose and a mild cough. I stayed home from my meetings and played mommy all day. Yesterday he got even worse. By the time Mike got home his nose and cough were worse and his eye was pretty red and swollen. He had also had a fever since Monday. We headed for the doctor. 
The diagnosis: left ear infection, pink eye and lots of drainage.
The treatment: amoxicillin, eye drops, sleep, lots of hand washing.
He is no longer contagious after today but we are hoping the rest of us can escape without getting any of it. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
