man down, man down

Please pray for my dear husband. No pictures of him! =0)He has been sick since Saturday night: fever everyday and he now has a terrible sore throat. To top it off, he his misplaced his wallet AND he needs to go on a business trip Sunday morning. He kind of needs that wallet! We have a theory that Josiah took it and stashed it somewhere, but it is nowhere to be found! It is very frustrating...

Josiah-I've been concerned about this cough and difficulty breathing. Saturday and Sunday he was wheezing. I took Dennis' advice and brought him to Urgentcare. Get this, we were the only ones there when I arrived! So, I'm not telling you where it is because otherwise you'll go! Ha ha. The doctor finally gave him a chest x-ray and said she's 99% sure he is not micro aspirating. I REALLY hate that word. I remember looking at the doctor at CHLA right after he passed his swallow study and I asked, "So, that means there is no micro aspiration, right?" "Right." What I really wanted to say was, "HA!" (fist punch in the air)

But, he still has this cough. This doctor gave him some steroids to add to his nebulizer. So now we're back to doing the breathing treatment twice a day. CHLA has opened up a clinic in our city and we have a ticket to see pulmonology and maybe GI. A ticket - that means they will call us to schedule an appointment. We'll see when that happens. In the meantime, he is still coughing so hard that he throws up. Tonight, I was so frustrated because he ate a good size dinner. Daddy was down for the count. So, I was so happy that he ate. He is doing this thing where he won't eat unless Sammie feeds him. She is nice enough to get up every other bite and feed him. We gave him his breathing treatment. Then it was time for milk. He wouldn't drink any, so we let him watch a clip from Cars. He drank his milk and then threw it and his entire dinner up. The good? Husband ran to get something big enough to catch it all. Bad? Josiah went to bed with an empty stomache. ARG! I almost lost it then.

Another good thing? He will sometimes hold it himself! Sometimes not...
