39 Weeks...and sick AGAIN?!!


Well, this week has been another challenging one. Our little man just can't seem to get better. He was starting to show some of the same symptoms as his first bought with Pneumonia, but no fever (and he was still happy). By day two of this, Bryan stayed home and brought him to redi-care at our pediatrician. He did not get in to see his doctor (who knows that no matter how sick he is, he will still laugh at you) and the doctor he saw said, "no fever, no ear infection, lungs sound good and he is happy."
The weekend continued to get worse...Harry threw up anything he ate, and spent hours at night flailing in our arms crying. On Monday, extremely frustrated, I called to get him in again. I was sure that there was something on our file about coming in when nothing was wrong, but once I mentioned that he has not had a wet diaper in over 12 hours, there is an appointment available at 8:30 am with his actual doctor. Prognosis...Pneumonia again, a Bronchial Infection and a right Ear Infection. No wonder he was not eating, but don't be fooled, he was still smiling at the doctor. He was given an antibiotic shot, put on Prednisone, Amoxicilin and a nebulizer with Albuterol.
Within a few hours, he was crawling around and playing (this bought did not seem to take him out as hard). So, there are still quite a few pictures from the week! However, he did not start eating sold foods for over a week.

The goods to make our little man healthy again.

The penguin humidifier is getting in over time.

And, we are sanitizing/cleaning like crazy!!



Harry has done well with the nebulizer. As long as we put Yo Gabba Gabba on TV, we can usually get in a solid 10 minutes.

With grandma Gayle in the Valentine's day bib that Julie sent.

Working on tooth number 5 (on the top to the left of his big teeth). So, chewing is a favorite past time this week.

Harrison tried to pull my shoes through his gate after I got home from Zumba.

Staying hydrated with Dad. Luckily, Harrison was willing to drink when he would not eat solid foods.

So Happy!!!
