Sickness
It seems like everyone we know is sick. YUCK!
Ana has been congested for almost a week now. We've been using all the doctor's recommendations for infants with congestion.
Humidifier
Suction
Nasal Saline
Vapor Bath
Baby's Vapor Rub
Elevate Head
She still has congestion, but she's able to breath and eat and doesn't have a fever, so there's not much more we can do.
Aiden was feeling great yesterday, we searched for hours for a flu shot. He had an appointment at his doctor's office to get a flu shot, but they ran out of them, Yuck. So, I called around to all the pharmacies and they were either out of them or wouldn't give them to his age group. So, finally I called Tarrant County Health Department and they will give them to his age group and have them in stock. But, no appointments, you just show up around 7:30am and stand in line and wait, wait, wait. :) My favorite thing to do is wait.
Last night Aiden started having a fever, we gave him Tylenol and sent him to bed. This morning he still had a fever, though it was lower. But now he also had a rash. I took him to the doctor's office and he has strep. :( They wanted him to wear one of those blue masks (it didn't go over very well, even with me saying "you're a doctor, it's your doctor's mask!!") So, he is once again on antibiotics. He also still had fluid in his left ear, but his right ear had cleared up. He has a follow up appointment with the ENT doctor in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how that goes.
Hoping everyone feels better soon!
