Devon's Not So Well Check-Up...


OK, so today was supposed to be Devon's 6 month check-up. The three of us have all been a little under the weather for about 4 days now, but I seriously thought we were having allergies. Wrong! Mr. Man has bronchitis (and of course, I feel really bad for thinking it was the same old allergy cough and not bringing him in sooner). But he is on meds and he hasn't really been that much fussier than usual. He hasn't even had a fever. He has actually been in a pretty good mood. He has just been coughing, which has been waking him up at night, but never in a bad mood. But he is o'kay. He weights 18 lbs. 1 1/2 oz, which places him in the 75% for weight and he is in the 95% for height. Mr. Man is a BIG BOY! Thankfully, we had an awesome pediatrician and an understanding nurse. They were both great at addressing my questions and concerns. Even Devon laughed and smiled with them (which is huge since he hasn't been into strangers lately AND since he wasn't feeling 100%).

As for the rest of the family, we are hanging in there. I am 99% sure Josh has bronchitis too because the boys have the same yucky cough and Josh has been complaining about the tightness of his chest, but his lovely HMO MD is out of the office. No answering service. No on call doc. So we are trying to get Josh in ASAP because I really don't want the boys to continue to swap germs. While I definately have a cold or a virus of sorts, I do not have the cough or tight chest so I am praying that I don't get sick. Please pray for us during our first family affair of illness.

All in all, we're doing o'kay. We miss everyone and hope that you are all doing well.

Sorry to hear you guys are so sick. I'm glad you found a doctor that you liked so much though, I'm sure that is reassuring.

I hope you all get better soon!
