Day #18 of fever!

Noah went back to visit our best friend Dr. Lytle today. It was not a fun visit. He's sick of that place. I'm sick of that place. My wallet is sick of that place!

Ahh well another day another doctor.

The diagnosis did not get any better today. Noah has developed pneumonia. If you remember this Noah had pneumonia last year during the holidays. Evidently two rounds of pneumonia by three years of age is not exactly the picture of a healthy child.

So we will wait two weeks for Noah to kick the pneumonia and then go for more extensive testing. Dr. Lytle thinks there might possibly be an underlying reason why Noah can't seem to fight anything off. I'm not extremely worried because when I was little doctors thought the exact same thing about me.

Please pray for Noah and Cade. They are my precious babies and I just want them well!!

I'm crazy about

Them...


and They are both sick.
Noah got sick 3 Fridays ago! It started with him throwing up. With all the distractions from the vomit (and canceling a trip to Texas at midnight) we failed to realize he had a fever. Until he started seizing.
Noah had a seizure that lasted around 6 minutes when he was a year old. I honestly thought he had outgrown it since then. I was wrong.
We spent that night at Children's and were sent home with the diagnosis of feibral seizure. (Seizure brought on by a rapid increase in temperature. )
It wasn't long before Cade started getting sick too. They were both diagnosed with Strep Throat. Good. One round of amoxocyllin and they'll be better, right?
Wrong...
Since then we have been to two ENT's (with Cade) scheduled, and then rescheduled tubes. Cade has started Albuteral every 4 hours. He was also told that he probably has RSV.
Noah has gone through two full rounds of antibiotics and has had a fever over 101.0F for the last 17 days. Sigh....
I miss Summer. I miss healthy happy children. Most of all I miss my sanity as I am quickly losing it being cooped up in this house with two sick children.
