Too many health updates

Whew what a week and a half it's been! We don't have many new pictures because it just doesn't seem very nice to take pictures of someone who feels as terrible as you do! We took our first trip to the Pediatric ER last week 10/8/08. You were having a hard time breathing despite a couple of breathing treatments. Rather than wait until the middle of the night we took you in to have you checked out. You had an x-ray, a throat swab and a nose swab. All of which were not your favorite things. You also got more tylenol and motrin and another breathing treatment! They sent us home after a few hours telling us you had a virus. We weren't much wiser to your condition when we left than when we came. But we were much more comfortable taking you home when they said you'd be ok. The next morning we took you to the doctor for an ER follow up. Now we got some real information. You had croup, a sinus infection and reactive airway disease. RAD is a way of saying asthma before you diagnose it. We were sent home with antibiotics, steroids and orders for 2-4 hourly breathing treatments. They also drew your blood and did another breathing treatment in the office. Once we got the antibiotics and steroids in you things took a turn for the better. As things go today you still have a bit of a runny nose and a little rumble in your chest but nothing compared to the wheezing you had last week which could be heard from the other room! Now our main issue is your lack of sleep! You are up past mommy and daddy! You've become quite a night owl. I'm not sure if it's because you are feeling better and don't need as much or if the steroids are keeping you up! Either way I miss my baby that went to bed early and slept in late! But am very happy to have my baby back that can breath!
