Doctors and Modern Medicine
I've been WAY out of commission these past few days. David got sick and I've had to focus all of my attention on him. He started coughing on Monday and by Monday night, he didn't sleep at all from all the coughing. I called the Doctor Tuesday Morning first thing and they couldn't see him until 4pm. So he was miserable all day and was scared to death when we walked in. He knew where he was and wasn't happy about it. After weighing in at 25 lbs, we only had to wait a minute for Dr. Laue to come in and the diagnosis was quick. Croupe with Double Ear infections.
This is our first experience with ear infections and it isn't fun.
We also broke down and got a video monitor. I was against them in our small house, I can hear him all the way across the house, but while he is coughing in the middle of the night, it is nice to be able to roll over and check on him without getting up.

So after a decent nights sleep, still lots of interruptions, we've had a decent day. David still ran a fever today but he seemed to really perk up this afternoon. I'm hoping he will start feeling better tomorrow so we can get out and enjoy the pretty weather.
I hope all of your children are feeling good...please be thankful for that!

poor David - ear infections are awful - and pairing that with the croup? can't imagine... prayers for that sweet boy and his mama!
Sending prayers for David, poor baby!
We are right there with you on the sickness...not fun. Thanks for the chat today :) Hope these boys get well soon!
ps, i love our video monitor! once you get used to it, you really only use it when they are sick like this. most of the time i never have it on.
Hope David is feeling better today! Prays for a healthy and happy weekend!
