Sick

Both kids have been sick this past week.  Bryce started coughing Monday afternoon but nothing too bad.  I gave him a breathing treatment Tuesday before school and when I went to pick him up Tuesday afternoon I could tell by looking at him that he felt lousy.  He was coughing so bad (and so croupy) Tuesday afternoon I called the Dr. and begged for them to see us.  I knew he needed more than what we had here.  Thank goodness they agreed to stay late to see us.  He needed another breathing treatment there and we left with prescriptions for steroids, codeine cough medicine and new nebulizer meds.  Wednesday he was no better (well his cough wasn't croupy anymore but still coughing SO MUCH) but the Dr. said it would take a while for the steroids to work so we waited.  Thursday he was still so sick so I took him back and he was diagnosed with bronchitis and we were given another nebulizer med and antibiotics.  Thursday afternoon I started seeing him perk up a little and by Friday afternoon he was feeling so much better.  Still coughing but nothing like it was Tues-Thurs. 

 

Saturday after Anthony's race CeCe woke up with fever and felt terrible from it.  She is coughing some (pretty bad at times) but nothing like Bryce was.  He never had fever with his.  She's had fever for 3 days now.  Motrin has brought the fever down since Sunday.  Saturday she stayed with Anthony while Bryce and I went to the parade and I think she felt ok for some of the time but then her fever shot up to 103 and she felt really bad.  Yesterday we had a nice day playing outside but everytime the motrin would wear off her fever would come back.  Today I thought she was feeling better but then around lunchtime she started shivering again.  She's napping now and we decided if she still has fever tomorrow we will take her in to the Dr.  She tends to get ear infections a lot so we want to make sure her ears are ok.  And there is that one time she had pneumonia which makes her more likely to get it again......
