the little cold that could

About two weeks ago Ruby, June, and I got colds.  We had runny noses and coughs and congestion.  Common colds.  No big deal, right?
June was stuffy, so she wasn't nursing as well as usual.  She wasn't draining me enough.
I got mastitis... again.  (I had it in February.  My fever got up to 104 degrees.  I was aching.  Chilled.  No fun.)
Ruby's congestion led to a double ear infection.  She didn't complain about it and I didn't know she was hurting.  Her eardrum burst from the pressure of the infection.  Then she was miserable.

Ruby and I are on antibiotics.  We are on the mend.

The moral of the story: Please remember to cover your mouth when you sneeze.  And wash your hands.
