PJ had croup last Wednesday and just has not shook it since. We took him in Monday morning and the great Dr. Shawn said he sounded pretty yucky. The Allergy/Lung Dr. wanted to see PJ when he was sick sometime, well no time like the present and she had an opening! yea! Took PJ to her late Monday and she said it was so nice to see him sick but she had to take away her thoughts that he wasn't an asthma kid. When we saw her in October he was healthy and she thought he really did not seem to have asthma. Unfortunately Mondays appt showed a 27% decreased lung function and anything 25% or more equals asthma, plus his pulse ox was 91% = sick boy. Steroids again, and antibiotics and continued inhaler use plus nebulizers. So bummer for PJ however most of the time he is completely manageable and does fine. I really like his allergist, such a sweetheart. I guess she will remain a part of our lives longer than originally planned.
Gabriellie has been sick since Thursday, she started with the vomiting bug and then seems to catch whatever PJ is willing to share about 2 days later. Brie started wheezing last night and just has this cough that will not stop. No meds are helping her! She also pipes off with temps up to 103 range at times as well. The poor thing coughs to the point of puking and then is left with broken blood vessels on her face! we are hoping tomorrow is a better day for her!
Tonight as I seat here typing Maggie comes with a pulled tooth and a temp of 101! ugg!!! I will not toot my horn again about healthy kids! But the blog states we seem to have a sick house the month of February, this year is not any different!
