valentines fun!

"mr. neb"

so, let me fill ya in on our past week of crazy sickness. last tuesday i woke up a few times in the middle of the night to throw up. i thought it was something i ate...josh cooked dinner that night, sorry honey. coley also woke up sick with a bad cough and was extremely congested. i made an appointment with his pediatrician and headed on in to work. josh and mimi were going to take him to the dr. well, i felt really bad and wanted to take my baby to the dr, so my sweet friends at work were able to get my classroom covered. i went home to get the checkbook and found out that josh had started throwing up and was feeling EXTREMELY bad. i went and met mimi at the dr, colton had a cold and we were told to treat with tylenol. we went home, loaded josh up on fluids and went to stay with ellie. i was sick, but not as bad as josh! we both felt better the next day--not much improvement with colton, but hey, its just a cold...RIGHT!

jump to saturday, valentines morning, my sweet baby boy is hacking and wheezing. he could hardly catch his breath. laurelwood said to bring him in asap. we went right in - no wait! the nurse called the dr in and she immediately ordered a breathing treatment and a test for rsv---at this point i am in a complete panic. rsv? my baby wasn't a preemie--far from it. he has been so healthy. rsv? anyway--i calmed down for the rest of the exam. we administered the breathing treatment and waited for the rsv results. NEGATIVE! praise god! he has a bronchial infection and an ear infection--poor baby! they sent us home with the breathing machine--"mr. neb" and a prescription for albuterol and amoxicillin. i hate that he is going thru this but so thankful it is nothing worse!

what a memory for our first valentines day with colton! hope yours was less stressful than ours!

i posted a few times today in order to catch up.
