Sick Reilly
So things have been pretty rough these past few days. Reilly and Nathan were sick. Reilly more than Nathan, but still a rough weekend. Reilly had matted eyes, a fever of 102, runny nose and a had a hard time breathing. This had been going on since Friday. That is when it started to get worse anyway. I figured a few days and Reilly would be better. Since his cough was to the point he couldn't sleep and the cough suppressant wasn't working, we had to give him Benadryl to help him sleep. That seem to get him by over the weekend.
Well, I had decided that I would make an appointment to see a doctor and make sure nothing too serious was wrong with Reilly. It was a good thing I did too. I walked into the doctors office complaining of Reilly's irritated eyes and nasty cough. I went home knowing that Reilly had an ear infection and the beginning stages of pneumonia. WOW! I couldnt believe. it. Reilly had to get X rays done on his left lung. He was such a good boy at the doctors office too. You could tell he was really proud of himself.
I was shocked that Reilly had lost 5lbs in two weeks. But it all seems to fall together with the kind of week we have been having. Luckily, the antibiotic for an ear infection also helps the pneumonia. All of Reilly's other systems were just independent problems. So poor Reilly went home with Clairitain, Pheudoephedrine, Tylenol, Medicated Eye drops, and Robutessin. I had just about every kind of medicine for a child.
As far a the pregnancy goes, everything is going smoothly. No complaints. I am a little exhausted for the week I have had with Reilly, but in all everything is ok. I am feeling alot of bumping around in my stomach. I seem to feel the baby the most when I am in the car driving somewhere. I wonder if the vibration of the car tickles or something. Who knows.
Well, hopefully things will get better over the next few days.
