Since I last posted, Eddie and Violet have gotten a little sicker, my head is full, my throat hurts, and I have a constant tickle. But, Anara is still holding her own against this vicious virus. Yesterday Violet coughed without pause. I called to schedule an apt. with her Pulmonologist and the nurse, after hearing Violet in the background, decided to page the MD and request her to see Violet special. Nate took Vi to Riley and I stayed home with Edison who had been vomiting in the night and having fevers. Violet was coughing nonstop, sweating, and sitting with tears in her eyes in the waiting room so a nurse came out to take her oxygen (in the high 90's if you are wondering). She had a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia and then had a viral swab. Her pulmonologist was concerned that she might have pertussis and started treating her. Violet is taking prednisone and azithromycin (her 1st antibiotic ever) in addition to her normal albuterol sulfate and flovent. Violet has been coughing nonstop (1-3 episodes per minute) this morning so I really wish something would start working. I think she just has whatever cold bug is going around and this is just how she gets sick, but we should hear back about the viral swab today. Violet's pulmonogist said Riley is at 105% capacity because of all the yuck going around. Edison is coughing too but he has breaks in between and sounds semi-productive. Anara coughs once every couple hours just to clear - so amazing.

Does the lack of blogging indicate that you've still got sickies at your house? Or does it mean you're all on the mend and now you're busy catching up on everything that got put aside when everyone was sick?
