Our little trooper
So, it's been a tough month for Charles since his seizure. His seizure happened 2 days before Christmas and he has had no complications from that...except that he is an excellent violin player suddenly...ha ha
But it seemed to have triggered a series of unfortunate events...for all you with "tweenagers."
A couple of weeks later, came down with a cough. After a couple of days I noticed his breathing was shallow and labored so back to the Dr. we went. He had RSV which is a respiratory virus, bronchialitis and an ear infections. So he was put on an inhaler and amoxicilin. It was a looooong week and we didn't see much improvement for a few days, he just wanted to be held and he was exhausted from the lack of being able to take a deep breath.
Here he is on the tail end of it. Because he spent ALL DAY Wed. with "Da" as momma went out to work all day (GLAD to get out of the house!) Da always makes everything fun for Charles. He got Charles to breathe really quickly for his treatments. Charles totally turned the corner that Wed. and on Thurs. you'd hardly know that he had been sick. WE thought we were out of the woods...then....
he awoke with a BIG smile to me, I took one look and couldn't believe my eyes!! He had a rash all over his body, from head to knee. All over his back, it was EVERYWHERE. So back to the Dr. who actually got a little chuckle out of it. Charles is allergic to the amoxicilin. His lungs were clear so he said to go ahead and stop all meds.
So we thought we were out of the woods. He didn't look too bad by Sunday so we brought him to the church nursery. They had been praying for him for 2 weeks and it was working and they were SO glad to have him back. That lasted about 15 min. In the middle of announcements they paged me. Steve was in the blood mobile donating blood and apparently so was his son!! Though Steve does so voluntarily!!
Yeah, you should see the other baby!!
So for the next month we are looking forward to uneventful days full of boring routines, walks in the park, and predictable playtimes and furniture the KNOWS to jump out of the way of falling children...etc etc.
