Another sickness update AND boys with crazy headgear!

First off, an update on the sickness. It hit John HARD last weekend - massive sinus infection. He felt like he had been hit by a truck. He missed almost a week of work but he's on the mend now thanks to two prescriptions and a LOT of rest. Max is 100% and Leo has some lingering nasal congestion. It turns out that the whole city has been down with either a bad respiratory virus (like a cold but with a cough that can last for three weeks - when I heard this on the radio, I had quite the "Eureka!" moment thinking about both of our boys hacking up a lung these past few weeks) or a terrible gastrointestinal bug. All of the hospitals, including the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, have been canceling elective surgeries and quarantining people. Yikes. Apparently, the respiratory virus can cause lung infections in kids too so I'm relieved that the doctor put Leo on the preventative course of antibiotics. Miraculously, I have thus far managed to fend everything off with my supermommy immunity shield. Fingers crossed that my luck continues!

And now, some totally random photos of the boys with things on their heads!
