From Dr. Mom’s Clipboard
Patient I: Phoebe
Symptoms: Runny nose.
Current condition: Very good. Runny nose only lasted about a day.
Notes: The flu shot that the patient recieved in late December seems to have protected her from the illness that has afflicted the rest of her family. Make sure everyone gets the flu shot next fall!
Patient II: Noah
Symptoms: Runny nose, fever, cough, lethargy.
Current condition: Poor. We’re on to day three of the fever.
Diagnosis: Ear infection is suspected, since colds have a history of settling in the patient’s ears.
Notes: Dr. Mom is ready to admit defeat and make a visit to a real Dr., who will probaly perscribe antibiotis. :( Dr. Mom wants to give the patients body the chance to fight off the ear infection on it’s own, but doesn’t want to subject him to undue discomfort. Sigh Maybe I should give it one more day?

Yeah, the flu shot is the way to go! I can’t remember…is it free in Canada? Here it’s around 25 bucks a pop, so it’s quite a big chunk of money to dish out for all of us.
I’m doing fine now. Got over it pretty quickly. Right now, though, I have a few really painful canker sores in my mouth that I hope are the grand finale of this rotten virus.
Oh boy…I sure am ready for spring…
