Fighting the Sickies!
Carsten woke up in the middle of Saturday night with a horrible cough, a fever, and difficulty breathing. I took him to the ER. His pulse-ox was low at 92 and his temp was high at 104.1. They gave him an oral steroid and a special breathing treatment for croup. We came home and he had a great Sunday and Monday until the late afternoon. Then the fever hit again. I called his doctor and she was concerned about an ear infection or pneumonia. Mark took him in Tuesday morning, and it had settled in his chest but his ears were clear. After an x-ray confirmed no pneumonia we were relieved. We are using ibuprofen every 6 hours to keep his fever down and he gets breathing treatments every 4 hours.
That is what we have been up to. Hope everyone else is doing well. I can’t wait to see more pictures of Baby Liam!
