Elderberry Juice Pops for Cold and Flu 2 | www.backtothebooknutrition.com/blog



 
Summer isn't peak season for cold and flu, but getting sick during the warm months does happen. Our usually healthy family has battled a string of viruses these past couple of months, with an ER visit for the toddler last week.
The shock of hearing my not-quite-2-year-old gasping for air in the middle of the night was terrifying. We came home with a diagnosis of croup and an ear infection, and I devoted the week to getting him back on his feet and then nursing his big sister, who took her turn with the virus as well.
While the crickets were chirping on the blog and social media, I soaked up the extra rest and cuddle time with my kids, thanking God for their health and for good medical care.
 

Summer Colds
 
It seems it's not just our family getting sick - everywhere I go lately, someone mentions having had some sort of cold or bronchitis or something I typically associate with winter.
