My Babies on Breathing Treatments

My little ones are both on antibiotics, steroids, and breathing treatments! This little respiratory virus has not been fun - though they never are! Over the weekend Emerson began having tremors in his legs. After a call in to the doctor, his meds were changed. He was switched to Xopenex. We use Xopenex for the other boys because there are less side effects. But insurance does not like to cover the drug. We are going to use what we have at home already, and if need be they are going to try to see if it can be covered because he is experiencing the side effects.

Everett's Go Texan Day

My sweet cowboy had dress up for Go Texan Day at school! I have to say he was definitely the most  handsome cowboy in the corral!

Emerson's First "Cold"

Emerson had his first "cold". And like my other boys, when they get it they go all the way! It started Monday. Tuesday he went to the doctor and had an ear infection. He was given an antibiotic. By Wednesday night he was wheezing and had labored breathing. I went ahead and gave him a breathing treatment on my own. With my unfortunate abundance of experience, I was fully confident that's what he needed. Thursday morning he was back at the doctor. In the office they gave him a stronger nebulizer treatment and a steroid. They sent him home on breathing treatments every four hours and to continue the steroid for the next four days. Poor little guy has not been sleeping AT ALL!  For his first time to be sick he isn't messing around! He is causing his mommy and daddy lots of worry!!

Emerson's First Ear Infection - Four Months Old

On February 21st, Emerson turned four months old and has his first ear infection! For three nights he has screamed and gotten little to no sleep. Because he suffers from reflux and constipation we weren't sure the cause for his fussiness. But by the third night his screams were clearly shrieks of pain. So we took him in and sure enough it's an ear infection. I tried for two days to get a picture of the little man smiling and I finally got one. And it's adorable! He's such a cutie! Love that smile!
