Can't shake this bug....

Hey everyone!!  Wow...what a rough few weeks it has been for us Pearsalls!  The three of us have been battling this horrible virus for almost 3 weeks now which has turned into a sinus infection for Russell, an ear infection for miss Ellie and a sinus AND ear infection for Ashley.  So needless to say we have gone through boxes of Kleenex, bottles of Gatorade, filled up humidifiers, and drank dozens of teas (which is a good excuse to use all of our mugs!), and hopefully we are now on the mend.  Sleep has been extremely difficult for all of us, which makes it harder to recover and with Ashley not being able to take many medications, she has sought out new herbal remedies and discovered a newfound obsession with tea.  Fenugreek tea is a natural chest and head decongestant (and boosts milk supply too) and chamomile tea helps with sore, itchy throats and irritating cough.  We bought ours from Elliott's Natural Food which you can find here and here.  Our Fischer-Price swing (which was previously disassembled and put in our lovingly named Junk Room) has SAVED our lives as Ellie has been napping and sleeping in it so she can stay upright and be soothed by the constant motion.  I had just about written it off and was commenting on spending so much money on something that we used for about 2 months but hey, now I'm totally grateful for it!   Russell and I quite the pair these days, yelling across the room at each other like a pair of old farts who can't hear because our ears are so plugged.  So here's to hoping we are all on the road to recovery!  Thanks for checking in!
