On the Mend

We seem to be on the mend more today. Matthew felt so much better yesterday afternoon only running a low(er) temp of 100 last night. His croup has come out of his chest and his cough is wetter and more productive thanks to breathing treatments every 4 hours PLUS a mega dose of steroids and pulmocort. I didnt set the clock to wake up to give him a treatment last night because I figured we'd be up, usually if he has a night time treatment, we just put the machine at the bed and hold the mask to his face while he is asleep, but he slept for almost 10 hours!!! I dont think either one of us moved! He woke up this morning asking for something to eat and drink and I figured out how to get him to take that nasty steroid without too much fuss-he eats gummies while I squirt it into his mouth. It worked well this morning and we dont have to do it again until tonight.

I have called my Dr. to see about some Tamiflu for me, I dont need to miss anymore work, but I have been coughed on, snotted on, thrownup on and everything in between these past few days......Brandon and Brooke started their Tamilfu last night and they spent the night at mom and dad's even though Brandon spent the other night cleaning up throw up for me!

Hopefully we are getting this out of our house, there is enough bleach and lysol that we should be ok!
