Finally Recovering - We Hope!

I know I promised several people I'd post since Katherine's birth, but I haven't. We've been busy (hey - we have a new baby), and Jayden's been miserably sick. After only 9 doctor visits and one trip to the hospital, we think we may have a handle on it. He has a severe upper respiratory infection, but we think he's getting over now. He's on some pretty strong medicine now, but it seems to be working.

The current doctor said that we likely will need to go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor to get tubes. Plus we're looking at the possibility of him having his adenoids taken out because they're causing the problem. And he will get long-term allergy medicine. He's a pitiful little guy, but just as he's getting better, Kate's getting sick...

We had to go to the hospital with her yesterday. We were at the doctor because she was having trouble with breathing and coughing, and they sent us to the hospital for chest x-rays (checking for pneumonia) and an RSV swab. Luckily, she had neither. We have to do nebulizer treatments on her three times a day for the next few weeks to see how she gets.
