What a week

Lets see, It has been so long, I need to recap. Connor had his bilateral inguinal hernia repair on the 31st. He was released after a short stay in peds ICU on Thursday morning. He goes today to have those sutures removed and the one from his little thumb. Then on Friday, both boys had to go back to Dr Obrien (pediatrician) for coughs and both were diagnosed with viral bronchiolitis. They were prescribed a five day course of prednisone (steroid) and breathing treatments via nebulizer every 4 hours. By Tuesday, both boys were screaming uncontrollably so Wednesday they went back to Dr Obrien and now they both have ear infections again. Logan in both ears and Connor in one. Now they are on their 3rd antibiotic (Zithromax) in 5 weeks. We looked back and we have been at the pediatrician once a week since Logan has come home. This is getting so crazy. Logan seems to be doing better, but hasnt gained any weight for 2 weeks and is remaining at 8 and 1/2 pounds. Connor is hanging at just about 10 lbs and he just cant seem to shake the rattle going on in his chest. I think next we will be adding an ear nose and throat specialist to our roster of doctors (as if there arent enough!!!). This has been a tough week. Saying goodbye to Aunt Jill was the hardest. I feel confident she is looking over the boys now in ways she couldnt before. We miss her so dearly. I will post some new pix here soon.
