This week has been hard on the little ones. Beans started it off with a massive cough and high fever. He finally kicked it with loads of albuterol and pulmicort breathing treatments and ibuprofen and tylenol kept the fever down to 101 for about 3 days. Just get him ready to go back to school Tuesday and K starts with the cough.
K has been up both the last 2 nights coughing non stop with her fever shooting up past 104 while on meds. Last night enough was enough and I took her to the ER. The doctor thought her lungs sounded rough, but not too bad, but thought it would be good to rule out anything serious with an x-ray. Well, as our family is now quite well at doing, we surprised the doctor with her having pneumonia. Luckily the ER was absolutely empty at 4 am so we were in and out in an hour. She now has antibiotics, cough medicine and continuing her albuterol breathing treatments. No school until Monday.
Here's hoping I can keep from getting it. Massive coughing would be torture with my headaches, that's for sure.
