Sick???

My poor baby caught the CRUD from me! I got sick after my first four days back at work and am still fighting off the nasty cough from the illness. My sickness required two doctors visits including two shots in the hinnie, steroid and antibiotic, as well as an oral antibiotic and prescription cough meds. Needless to say, I obviously infected my sweet Kaden with this stuff. He started feeling sick on Monday and by Wednesday he was full blown sick with the terrible congestion, coughing and wheezing. He sounded like a seal when he coughed. So, off to the pediatrician we went Wed. We were there for 3 1/2 hours due to a long wait to get in and then the doctor having Kaden take a breathing treatment so she could listen to him after to see if he was still wheezing. We ended up with the diagnosis of CROUP Cough and a viral cold. We also left with a lovely new nebulizer machine to do breathing treatments at home every four hours. Dr. C says this should help us avoid the hospital, which FREAKED me out a little. She said he was very sick. I mean, I knew he was sick, but just the mention of the hospital scared me.
So, here we are getting breathing treatments at home:





Here's the machine...it is the panda bear...



He sucks on the pacifier and it gives him his breathing treatment. Pretty neat technology we have these days for babies... He is also on a steriod to help with the coughing/wheezing situation.

The good news is, Kaden is feeling better today, we still have a nasty croupy cough, but he is feeling much better. In fact, here he is all SMILES and laughs and talking....(to his NANA, of course)





Look at my sweet baby!




Here he is talking...






And my poor sick baby sleeping...



So, again, I have missed more work. I missed 1/2 day Wed., Thursday, and today. Maybe next week I'll get in a full week. Maybe...
Also, Daddy has been gone to work since last Wed., he hasn't seen us in almost 10 days!!! He is on his way home now, should be here in the morning, we hope!
