Back to the Doctor....again.

This time it was for Trevor. He's had the same cough and cold for a few days now that Addison has, but last night he had a fever. I took him in first thing this morning. The doctor could hear some fluid in his lower lungs, so we did chest xrays, and sure enough....he has middle lobe pneumonia!

She prescribed some antibiotics and told him he couldn't go to school the rest of the week. She thought he would recover quickly because he "appeared" healthy and wasn't too run down. It may just take a while to get that fluid out of his lungs. He was so good at the clinic and even when we went to radiology. I had to wait outside while they did the x-rays, but the staff was so good with him and explained things to him before they took the pictures.

It probably helped that he was with me when we went through all of this with Addison a few days ago...doctor, x-rays, etc....

I hope my little sicklings get better soon because we are NOT sleeping much at night these days! Addison has been up the last few nights anywhere from 3-5 hours just fussing and refusing to lay back down....

I'm exhausted!!!!!!
