still sick...



The doctor said to let him eat what he wants and drink what he wants to make sure he stays hydrated...check out how he wanted to eat his ice cream! Oh well, it did keep him entertained.

We went back to the doctor on Friday afternoon because Jack's breathing/wheezing got worse. To make a long story short...we are the proud owners of a very nice nebulizer machine, have a son on steroids and have to closely monitor his breathing and if he sounds like he did when we took him to the doctor on Friday we need to bring him into the ER. Great. We also have to closely monitor him at night, which means very little or no sleep for mom and dad. We're living off coffee and pop, oh yes and some let over Easter candy.

The other annoyance is that he is not contagious (because no fever) but the minute you take him in public he has one of his coughing fits and everyone in the store is staring at you wondering why you brought your child out in the first place. Maybe so we don't go insane sitting at home? Maybe I should make a sign and paste it to his shirt that says "not contagious"?

I am so sorry this is happening to you too. My boys were sick from Nov-mid Feb, then healthy until last week. It can make you crazy, but remember that eventually he'll get better and be back to driving you nuts with his ball games and energy and normal boy-ness.

I totally understand how you feel. This winter has been horrible with sicknesses. We have been sick non-stop since November. We finally are all better. two weeks without any of us being sick..yeah!
