Pass the Vitamin C, Please

Our  immunity systems are in no way prepared for the onslaught of Aussie germs and viruses that seem to be assaulting us at every turn. Zachary was the last to fall ill but he has not only been hit the hardest, he has taken me with him.  We are now very acquainted with the nearby medical center and I love that you can set appointments up online in the middle of the night for the following morning.  We took Sophia to school and then headed straight to the doctor, where they eventually realized that they'd better find a room for us as we were scaring people in the waiting area - Zachary was screaming that he wanted to go home and "didn't want to have his equipment checked" (no idea where that came from) and i was just rocking him as I shook with fever. 
We have both been diagnosed with bacterial tonsillitis and are on antibiotics.  I can't remember the last time I was this sick. Fortunately, Andy is on his way home from work and a friend from Sophia's school is going to help with pick-up. . .Z and I are going back to sleep. . .
