Another Trip

We took another trip to MedExpress on Saturday. Woohoo! Will came down with what Marcus had. I was hoping Will would last until Monday so he could go to his regular doctor but then he woke up from his nap Saturday with a horrible cough and was just miserable. Will doesn't tend to be the most cooperative of patients (remember, this is the kid who freaked out at the vet office) so Greg, Marcus, and I all went for moral support. Although there were a few tears he did much better than expected. Best of all, there was only one person ahead of us instead of facing a full house like Marcus and I did a few days before.

The diagnosis: two ears infected. His lungs sounded clear but with his bad cough, the doctor said he might have pneumonia. She also said she was a mom herself and was happy to forgo the stress of an xray to check out his lungs and instead put him on an antibiotic that would cover his ear infection as well as a touch of pneumonia if he had it.

So, we are all trying to get well. Both kids are doing much better already. The biggest issue now is that they still get these coughing fits that get so intense they end up throwing up. ***Stop reading here if throw up talk grosses you out.*** Will threw up at the breakfast table. I know I'm pretty well into this whole mom thing when I sat there and continued to eat while Greg cleaned it up. Marcus got a coughing fit outside today and threw up in the garden. Then while I was typing this up I heard someone cough and it sounded like that someone threw up but there were no tears of fussing following. I went to check it out and Will threw up in his bed and apparently planned on leaving it there all night. All is well (and clean) now. Ahhh.... parenthood. Hopefully this stage of the sickness passes soon. I can't do laundry. A small part in our washing machine broke and although it is simple and inexpensive to fix, the part won't be in for another 6 days.

I have all these plans to post some other stuff with pictures and things that don't involve grossness but the grossness is kinda taking over the posts this week. Back on track with fun stuff soon.
