I'm thrilled to say our entire household is finally on the mend.
Anna is now off the Amoxicillin and seems to be congestion and ear infection free. Praise God!
Ian saw our family physician (who is also a pediatrician) last Friday because of a rough, barking cough. Doc ordered a chest x-ray and it showed that he had a form of the flu that settles in the throat and lungs. It causes swelling of the throat so it is hard to eat and breathe, along with a harsh dry cough. We started him on a steroid that night and his cough got worse on Saturday. Poor little guy coughed non-stop (no kidding) until he was either napping or asleep for the night. But by Sunday the cough was more normal and was only happening every fifteen minutes or so. By Monday he was nearly back to normal and the meds were finished. Amazing. We're so thankful to God that both kids are getting back to normal and nearly healthy.
This Friday the weather is supposed to be gorgeous with highs near 70 degrees so we're really anticipating a fun trip to the zoo to celebrate the weather and healthy kids!!
