We are sick at our house. Emma started coughing Friday, and it hasn't let up. I took her to the pediatrician and when she listeded to her lungs she said it sounded like a pneummonia and would send us for a chest x-ray. Then checked ears and said she both were infected and since the treatment for pnemmonia and ear infections is the same, we didn't need the chest x-ray. (thank goodness!) So Emma is on antibiotics for two weeks and an inhaler to help open her airways. She has been so miserable, hacking and wheezing. She's not sleeping, and has not left my arms for more than a few minutes for the last It breaks my heart to see her so sad and uncomfortable. But she did have a good night last, only waking twice. So maybe we're on the upswing.
Luke, who had just recovered from his own ear infection almost two weeks ago, was puking on Saturday. But thankfully only one day. And today Nath came home early from work and went straight to bed because he was feeling sick! I feel like I need to open the windows and air out this germy house so we can all get healthy again.

Oh Kristin....that does not sound good. Your family is in my prayers.
Yuck! Is Emma feeling better?? We have been sicky around here too and I agree, it's time for spring and fresh air! Here's to better health...!!
Thanks girls. Emma is doing much better, almost back to normal. Just a little congested still.
That picture breaks my heart to look at it. Glad to hear she is getting over it. It is always so much worse when they can't tell you where they hurt.
