....and we went to the ER

Christmas came and went and we were still sick! Our house was full of fun toy and apparently germs. Someone has been sick in our house since December 10. This time Shawn was the lucky one that didn't get some sort of ailment like the rest of us did. A few days after Christmas the kids and I packed up and visited College Station while Shawn headed to Hamilton. The morning we were supposed to leave Max was running fever and had a terrible cough. Shawn took Max in to see Dr. Knapick. He diagnosed Max with upper & lower respiratory infection and prescribed him a slew of drugs and benadryl for the cough.
I figured he'd get better soon and I didn't want to be alone with sick kids so we headed to CS. I had planned to have lunch with Maritza and her good friend Kelly at Wings N More. I gave him 2/4 medicines he was given since he was throwing them up....nice. He had also had 2 breathing treatments that day for his wheezing. Since Max wasn't feeling well I left him with my mom and Maddie and I went to pick up the girls. We had a good lunch, but I was worried about my little boy, but I knew he was in good hands.

When I got home Max was VERY drowsy because of the benadryl and he was running a fever. On top of that he was struggling to breathe, his poor chest was working so hard to breathe. Boy did I feel like Mother of the Year! We decided to take him to the ER since we don't have a dr. in CS. Luckily Elizabeth was there to go with us. She was such a great help. She provided a good distraction for me because I was a little freaked out. Long story short he was given 2 breathing treatments and a steroid and they made sure he was okay. I was glad we took him and by the next day he was back to normal.....well sort of
