Nothing but rain and illness

It's friday evening, and it's has been raining since Tuesday. It's rained over 200mm since Tuesday and everything is SOAKING WET!
Our roof continues to leak, the study flooded, the windows are wet with condensation and I am sick of the rain!!!!!!!!

Poor Benny has been sick this week too. He had an infected gland in his neck that the doctor said was enlarged from a recent tonsil infection. We knew he was sick about 4 weeks ago with coughs and temps, but didn't know he had tonsillitis, poor boy.
The lymph node (gland) in his neck swelled so big we noticed it just by looking at him. It looked like a lump slightly smaller than a golf ball in his skinny little neck.
He is on another course of antibiotics this week. He has had 2 days of temps and one day of vomiting and nausea. Thankfully today he is better, no temps or nausea for 2 days and the neck lump is shrinking. He is more tired and grizzly than usual, but getting better :))
Ethan remains healthy :)

OH WOW so much has been going on since I last checked in. :( I hope all is back to normal. We too had a leaky ceiling but ours was due to a clogged air conditioning drain pipe. Our poor AC has been running non stop for days since it is so hot. Constant 110 degree days. I wouldnt recommend Disney World in July or August. :)
