Sick little monkey

 

Both of the boys (P and Willie B), have nasty cold's that have been hanging around.  They started wheezing, and becoming short of breath so on Thursday I took them both to the Dr.

They were prescribed nebulizer treatments every four hours around the clock,  as well as oral steroids. The doctor was generous enough to give Willie an RX for an antibiotic, as he also has an ear infection.

At first William screamed the entire 15 minutes it takes to give him a treatment.  But being the bright Nanny (ha) that I am, I rigged his blankie into the mask, so that he was able to suck on it, and get his treatment at the same time.

Both boys have been bouncing off the walls because of the steroids.  William was awake from 7am until 8:45pm, with no naps, because he was so "high".  He usually naps for 3 hours. 

I hope they are both on the mend come Monday.
