The Lamb infirmary

Last Thursday Max came home from school with a fever and runny nose with a cough. Saturday night, Alex started a bad runny nose, middle of the night, a fever. Sunday, Mike, you guessed it, similar symptoms. Monday, mike took off work sick for the first time in over a year, and I was home with 3 sick boys running on absolutely zero sleep. Monday afternoon Alex started to get an extremely runny nose, a bad cough/wheezy breath, wouldnt nurse, and refrused his binky because he couldnt breath, therefore only napped when he passed out because of exhaustion. After we survived the longest night ever known as last Monday, i called our doctor at 7:45am on Tuesday, so they could call me back at 8, and made an appointment for 9:10. My mom drove in to help with the troops. The doctor said what i thought, he was concerned about Alex's current condition. What surprsied me though is that we werent sent home with antibiotics like i had assumed. Instead we were sent home with a list full of to do's and a treatment to help his lungs ( humidifier, nasal spray, aspirator, etc etc) and a little mask. The doctor said the nasal spray he prescribed would help open his sinuses up and the breathing treatments would help with Alex's lungs and help him get the amount of air he needs. So, every 4 hours i have to make the little guy breath 2 puffs about 12 breaths out of the below


I hope Alex feels better soon. I hate to see the little guy so uncomfortable. Plus mommy needs some sleep! So thankful i decided to take him in.
