@ the Dr's Office

I've got some sick kids. It all started a couple of weeks ago. Lexa got sick - probably something that started from allergies - and ran a fever for a day, but then seemed to get much better but remained to have a cough. Logan had a couple days of a fever but tylenol did the trick and he seemed to be on the mend with some congestion and coughing remaining. Then last week I felt like the Grim Reaper was knocking on my door. Typical flu symptoms, achey, fever, dizzy, head cold, pounding head ache. I went to work last thursday and probably shouldn't have. I holed myself up in my office and took it pretty easy. Friday I took the kids to daycare and went back home for some rest.

Monday brought a big suprise. I was feeling quite better with just the remaining runny nose and cough. Logan had his 6 month dr's appt and just to make a long story short has 2 very bad ear infections and pneumonia and thrush. His blood oxygen was so low (88) that he was minutes away from being admitted to the hospital. I'm sure that if his appointment was for 3pm (like usual) instead of 9am he would have been. After 2 breathing treatments, a shot of antibiotics, a dose of steroids, and chest x-rays his blood oxygen got up to 96, barely high enough to go home. So we been doing breathing treatments and lots of medicine to get my little bubba back to his normal self.

But that's what worries me most. He didn't act like he was in any discomfort at all! He was still playing and smiling and talking and sleeping like usual. Dr. says from now on {at least for the next 12 months} if he has cold symptoms that don't improve within 3 days bring him in because he is more likely to develop pneumonia again since there will be a weak spot in his lungs for the next year. I yI yI.

Oh, and Lexa has an ear infection and I have 2 ear infections. We are all on antibiotics. EXCEPT Lance. He has somehow dodged this whole thing!
