Be Grateful for the Lemons

Corbin and Quincy both had ear infections (act surprised, y'all).
Corbin's antibiotic (read: chalk flavored liquid that he spits out on the floor) gives him the kind of diarrhea that can't be contained in a diaper.

It's swell.
So today, I am grateful for this stuff

Without it, things could have been much worse.

And that is exactly why I try to remind myself that having all hardwood floors is a good thing, even when my toes are freezing and I'm sweeping 100x a day. Maybe you should buy some rubber covers and put those over to contain the mess :) Good luck and I hope he gets better soon.

My kids always have problems with that too when they take antibiotics. Our prediatrician said to give them probiotics to counteract that side effect of the antibiotics. Of course there are the ones just in yogurt but you can also buy some at certain pharmacies. There is one down at Pinnacle Hills that sell them. Sometimes they even come lined in a straw so they just have to drink something through the straw. You just can't give them the probiotics until a few hours after the anitbiotics and the antibiotics will kill the probiotics.
