Friday, November 9th and the crud and other yuckies still hold strong. Janie missed school again Wednesday 11/7 after throwing up from about 12:30am - 4:30 that morning. She went to school yesterday, but her cough got a lot worse yesterday afternoon and now she also has, um... the other gastrointestinal issue. She's staying home again today. Jacob's cough also got worse yesterday. I need a time line to keep up wit it all:
Saturday, 10/20 - Janie first got sick, fever, stuffy nose
Monday, 10/22 - Jacob and I got sick, cold symptoms, Janie missed school
Tuesday, 10/23 - Janie and Jacob both missed school
Wednesday, 10/24 - Janie back to school, still coughing a bit, but otherwise ok
Thursday, 10/25 - Jacob back to school (he attends only on Tues and Thurs), coughing a bit, but otherwise ok; Mark sick
Monday 10/29 - Jacob to doctor, bad cough, wheezing, prescribed Xopenex every 4hrs via nebulizer
Wednesday, 10/31 - I go to doctor, bad cough, not sleeping, prescribed inhaler, momma-said-knock-you-out cough medicine for night time and taking Mucinex.
Friday, 11/2 - stop Jacob's breathing treatments
Over the next few days everyone seems to get a bit better, still coughing a bit, but doing better.
Wednesday, 11/7 - Janie home after being sick all morning
Thursday, 11/8 - both kids at school seemingly doing well, both have flu shots at 4:10 flu clinic appt, both coughs worsen PM (mine also); bad night for Jacob coughing - had to resume breathing treatments
Friday 11/9 - Janie has "other gastrointestinal issue" and near constant coughing, Jacob's coughing still very bad - gave them both Xepenox via nebulizer at around 6:30am. Janie not going to school. Waiting for 8:30 to get here so I can call pediatrician.
I hate this, my poor babies.
8:50 Update
Talked to Dr. B's nurse and gave her all the info. She'll talk with Dr. B and call me back. Meanwhile, I'll be setting up an appt for Janie this afternoon. We may or may not have to keep it, depending on what Dr. B says. My main concern is the cough. She had walking pneumonia a little over three years ago and I'm wondering if we're headed down that road again.
