Oh The Joys of Parenting!

It has been a very tiring couple of weeks. Aydan and Sam both got really sick, especially Sam. He saw two different doctors and was tested for pertussis. Thankfully it was negative, but he was still really sick. Aydan ended up with bronchitis and was put on antibiotics. Sam got a double ear infection and bronchitis. He got antibiotics, ear drops and nebulizer breathing treatments. His cough was too weak so he needed the nebulizer at least twice a day to help him breath. It was kind of scary and of course he wasn't sleeping very well. Not like that is a change, he is still going strong on not sleeping through the night. Oh and let me tell you have fun it is to try to give Sam his antibiotic. I am surprised that he is better, he pretty much spits out all of it. It took both me and Peter to hold down Sam, open his mouth and blow in his face. And yet he still would spit and wiggle enough so most ended up on his neck. What a pain! The boys are doing better now. It seems that most of their cough is gone and Sam is no longer wheezing. They are both back to their normal crazy selves!

Sam and his nebulizer. He would sit still for about 5 minutes then it was wrestling time!

Sam getting grumpy, he really didn't like the nebulizer.
