Don't you know..., Saturday Bryce seemed to be having trouble breathing (GREAT!) so I turned his O2 up put him to bed, by 10 pm he was up to 1 liter of O! We haven't been that high in I don;t know how long so of cause I'm sick and now he's sick! I gave him a neb... didn't help, called pulmonary they told me to start Orapred and check in in the morning. By morning he was still not better, coughing, wheezing real bad starting a temp. Well THANK GOD his pedi is open on the weekends so my mom helped me get him there since I can't drive , we brought him in, he has a bulging ear drum from an ear infection (eventhough he has tubes) I had NO IDEA he had and ear infection and he also has lots of wheezing. Plan is this: Orpred x5 days, Amoxicillin x10 days, nebs every 4 hours x4 days, and motrin! On top of the 15 pills a day I am taking right now, the incapacitating hearing loss and dizziness! and OF COURSE ITS MONDAY and everyone is at work so I am ALONE! H E L P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the bright side here are a few pics:
See he still sleeps with a bubba too and I feel like if he is happy so am I!
saw the camera and follwed to show of his cuteness with out his cannula!!!
Getting into trouble!

It is that time of year when everyone seems to pick up the smallest cold and it turns into something larger than we imagine. The poor kid. There is no way that you could have figured it out without going to the doctor. You thought, as I would have, that with the tubes this would not happen. You, at least, had the insight to call the doctor right away and get things done. Hope your medication is working. I cannot believe all that you have endured in the past couple of weeks. Keep your chin up, things will change. When you are feeling down, just look at all of their pictures and see the incredible children that you created.
