Still sick
Well, my husband is feeling better today, but the baby is still sick. He seemed ok today, but as usual his temp spiked again around suppertime, and he just looks so sick. I am not used to having a sick child, as my girls really never got as sick as he has been. He had another restless night last night,but John took care of him which was a nice break. He got RSV about a year ago, and I have read that this prediposes him to getting colds and asthma more easily.This all brings back to my mind a situation we had last year. They now have a series of shots that they give to premature babies t prevent RSV. His pediatrician requested that he get this last year when he was 2mos old(you need approval from the ins co.)They denied her request as he did not meet all of the qualifications. He only met one which was that he had older siblings who were in school. If I smoked and took him to daycare, he would have qualified. I felt like I was being punished for staying home with my child, and for not smoking. So, he ended up getting RSV, and I am still alittle bitter about that (thanks BC/BS!!!) We don't know if my husbands kidney stone passed , or if it just moved. He had his first major attack about 8 1/2 yrs ago. He now knows what to do when he feels an attack coming on, plenty of fluids and Vicodin every 4 hrs. So one down and one to go! I was really hoping the week would start off better than last week. It looks like I will be heading back to the dr.s tomm with the baby. As my friend Heather says, "Boys are trouble!" and I am finding this to be true!!!

I'm sorry your little guy has been so sick. I hope the dr. will be able to help him tomorrow. Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you, Martha. That's very nice of you to offer.
I told you so. But, they are so stinkin' cute, too!
