4 Trips in 4 weeks equal reserved parking spot!

I wish! We have had our fill of sinus problems this Fall. It all started the 4th week in October and has continued through today. As you read in a previous post Jacob ended up with pneumonia on Halloween. His started out as sinus infection and double ear infection. Well I thought Madison was getting better from her sinus infection and I knew it was too good to be true. She started coughing on Friday night just 4 days after going off of her antibiotic. It gradually got worse and yesterday I picked her up from school and she did not look good. Took her temp and sure enough she was running fever. She coughed all night last night and I finally gave in and took her in to see our Pediatrician. She heard crackling in her right lung and said she had walking pneumonia. Apparently, we did not get the sinus infection completely cleared up and it settled. So we are on 2 rounds of the Z-pac (zythromax) and hopefully we can zap this for good! No pics as Madison is not much on photos when not feeling well!

I feel your pain! I think we have been ATLEAST 6 times in the last 6-7 weeks. Some of those weeks have had visits by both kids. I need a faster way to get to Mercy! I just took Abby there today for a cough, got the lovely word...virus. I hope your kids feel better soon. maybe the Thanksgiving break will help! Hang in there!

Sorry to hear that Madison is sick! Let me know if I can do anything! I am praying for you everyday!

We made it to our dctrs last week 3 times, which doesn't include the ER. We thought about putting up a sign at the dctrs that said "Home sweet home."
