When things haven't gone well for you...

"When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention." ~ Lyndon B. Johnson

Speaking of staff man, Miles has a staph infection. Aparently, staph is everywhere. "Many healthy people carry staph bacteria in their noses without getting sick." Gross. Miles was lucky enough to get a cut or scratch that let the bacteria in to fester and multiply. He's on two very strong antibiotics as his doctor was worried it would turn into Scalded skin syndrome, which would result in my son going to the hospital for the fifth time in his short 13 months.

I can't wait for him to get better. For those who are parents out there, you know what I'm talking about. There is nothing more frustrating and more upsetting than to have a sick child who is miserable, and there's nothing you can do to help them. I also can't wait to have a full-night's sleep again. My poor baby wakes up itching and crying A FEW times a night.

I look forward to the time when this blog can be used for fun and cheerful stories instead of dreadful and gloomy ones...
