Icky Germs

I know that germs serve a purpose - but I'd really like to eradicate them from our home! Here's a recap of life for Aaron lately:

Saturday, December 19: trip to Urgent Care for an oral steroid for croup and antibiotics for an ear infection. He was still happy thru this ordeal - amazing to me!

New Year's Eve: eyes starting oozing and I feared pink-eye. Starting coughing a bit. Hands constantly in his mouth - is it teething??

New Year's Day - not faring so great - but still pretty happy.

Monday, January 4: eyes are oozing like mad! They actually get matted shut.

Tuesday, January 5: take him to see Dr. He gets a nasal swab that reads positive for RSV. Looked in ears and determined he has ear infection (still/again). Goes to get a chest x-ray to make sure it's not pneumonia. The device they have to use for babies looks like a mid-evil torture device! They sit on something resembling a saw horse and then their arms are stuck over their head while a plastic device wraps around their entire body. He didn't have a shirt on and somehow that made it look even worse! It was very difficult for Mommy not to cry! We headed back to the Dr's office where Aaron got a nebulizer treatment. Off to the Pharmacy to get antibiotic, nebulizer and albuterol. Aaron proceeds to projectile vomit 4 times in the space of about 14 hours. Determine it's from the antibiotic and need to get a new one. He's been sleeping pretty much on Mommy or Daddy - so needless to say they are not getting much sleep. Last night he did manage to sleep in his very elevated crib for about 6 hours!! He woke up looking like he went to battle and lost! He had the biggest blood clotted nose!

I think even Falco feels bad for the boy b/c he lays next to him as to protect him and keep him jolly - or at least as jolly as can be expected.

Oh, little Aaron - may Jesus' healing power wash over you and thru you to bring you to full health!
