Not Off To The Best Start In 2013

In the past month I think we have spent more on medical bills than we have in the past 3 years combined.  2012 ended with the horrific stomach bug and Kate's ER visit.  And since 2013 started we have had 3 doctor visits and 3 antibiotics for 3 of us.  Kate had the ear infection and crud.  I had a bad case of tonsillitis and Matt had the ear infection and bronchitis.  Ugh!!  It has been a rough start!  And poor Kate has had the worst of it I think.  She was acting weird on Wednesday and then yesterday she broke out in spots all over her body.  Today it has developed into full blown whelps.  Poor thing!  It looks like she is allergic to penicillin drugs.  Thankfully the rash/whelps are not bothering her but she looks horrible.  Her face is the worse but there are red spots over her entire body.   

 Thankfully everything we have had can be helped with a little medicine and we are joyful in that!  I could be much worse and we find joy in that!  We aren't letting a little sickness get us down.  We are enjoying the beautiful sunshine that we haven't seen in a couple of weeks and thankful for God's wonderful blessings.  Ben has managed to avoid all this other stuff and is doing great!!
