Holding Pattern

Things at our house are pretty much the same. Kori seems to have rebounded from her sore throat etc. rather quickly. She is at school today and said she felt fine, so that is one good thing.

Alexis went back to the pediatrician yesterday. We are striving to be Patient Of The Month this month I think. Maybe we'll get our own parking spot or a chair with a plaque with our name on it in the waiting room?? Oh a girl can dream!

All kidding aside. Alexis' oxygen levels were a bit lower than they like, but given the illness she has, that wasn't completely unexpected. She is also slightly dehydrated. So we made a promise when we left to push fluids and popsicles and see if that would help. Her heart rate was slightly elevated due to the dehydration, but that is also not uncommon. We are to go back later this week if there is no improvement. The next step would be hospitalization for IV fluids and then a deep chest suction. Yes that is as bad as it sounds. It is terribly traumatic for older kiddos and she is trying to avoid doing that if she can. We are so hopeful that doesn't happen.

I have decided that it's a good time to get some sinus issues, aches and a sore throat as well. **SIGH** **SIGH** **SIGH** Oh well, it is what it is. Mom's don't get sick days anyway so we keep going.

I am hoping that we are at the top of this hill and will be going over the other side to "Healthy-ville" soon. Real soon!
