sickies

Yep we have the sickies here at Casa De La Melban. Not just a little under the weather either. Nope when we do something we like to do it big around here.

Cannon has ear infections in both ears or if you want to say it in a way to make it sound mega bad~double ear infection. :) But either way both his ears were hurting and one was draining. Stinky-brownish-goopy stuff. (Wouldn't want you guys to miss the full experience) He has been pure bliss to be around let me tell ya. Actually today he is back to his ornery self so I KNOW he is feeling better.

Reece went in with Cannon to get a little cough checked out and tested positive for RSV. Since we caught it early I have seen the full progression of what RSV can really do. We are in the 3-5 day phase of this illness and it is the worst supposedly. So we are doing breathing treatments every 3 hours. This morning we had to go back actually because I was concerned about eating and his urine output. But all is good although we did find out he has ear infections (or a double ear infection) in both ears. So we get to start an antibiotic as well as steroids for his lungs. JOY, just pure JOY here! :)

Red rimmed eyes. And yes the running nose is non-stop.

I am afraid it is going to be raw pretty soon.

Mason and Gracelyn are doing great through this. Gracelyn has a cough and stayed home on Friday because of it but really she is fine. I just didn't want her to get worse or pass this stuff on to another child. Mason has missed it all. Absolutely no change in energy level whatsoever! I don't wish he was sick by any means but I do wish he would adjust his disposition to a slower pace just for a day or two.

Here is the well child! :)

He was so shocked I would take a picture of him doing his business.

He was looking at the Toys-R-Us Catalog. Just a little leisurely reading.
