Mia has had a rough time lately. As most of you know she got RSV in December and was hospitalized for 3 days. We got better and then about a month later she started wheezing and coughing again. I took her to the doctor and she had RSV/bronchitis again. I already started the nebulizer treatments so we were on the right track. The doctor said that weekend could be very hard. That I was to try and keep her upright as much as possible and actually recommended me to sleep with her in the recliner. Chris was gone this weekend at his annual KU weekend with the guys....and Dr. Paradis told me to focus on Mia that this would probably be a sleepless weekend for me and that I needed to find someone to watch Vincent so I could focus on her. I might have just freaked out and stressed out and....oh you all know me. I wanted Chris home to help with our kids. My dad, brother and Cathy were willing to come over...I dont know. So Chris came home and I think things instantly improved or maybe I just relaxed. Shannon came over and took Vincent to the Children's musuem so that was a nice break. Mia survived the night next to me..upright in her bouncy chair. She did get a breathing treatment in the night too. It was a very long weekend.
Mia....too tired to even play with her toys...
Mia...experienced with the breathing treatment, decided to hold it herself!
So a couple days later (Tues) daycare calls to tell me that Vincent ---yep you heard right Vincent needs to come home he has pink eye! Oh Yippi Skippi things are just getting better every day. Mia hadn't improved so I made appointments for both kids. Confirmed Vincent had pink eye and received eye drops for 5 days. Now Miss Mia had a double ear infection and her lungs sounded like crap...they placed her on amoxicillin and steroids with nebulizers still. Then comes Friday...Vincent is better, but Miss Mia still is still in good humor (as she has been the whole time she has been sick) is still wheezing and coughing. Our friend Nikki came over to hang out and made me take Mia to the doctor. Her ear infection has got worse and lungs still wheezing. So we got an xray...not pneumonia (that's good) but looking like bronchitis. Ears are bright red..and she did not like the cleaning the wax out. Her face turned bright red and that is the loudest I have ever heard her cry. We changed to Omnicef and continued nebulizer. All fun stuff!
