Petri Dish


Here is Coleman with his best buddy Declan. Coleman has a collection of snot at the base of his nose. I'm sure a couple of days after this picture, Declan had a collection of snot at the end of his nose.

Let me tell you something about kids and germs. In the 3 weeks since Coleman started preschool he has had a cold, fever, chest congestion, runny nose, diahrrea, a febrile seizure (4am emergency room vistit, not fun but he's fine) and an ear infection in both ears.

Roz has had chest congestion, sinus infection, a really bad cough and some "female problem" that she won't tell me about.

I have had chest congestion, bronchialitis (the younger cousin to bronchitis), runny nose, fever, a root canal and a heel spur.

I probably can't blame the kids for the heel spur or possibly the root canal, but how do we really know for sure.
