again.

Easton's sick. this seems to be a weekly occurrence lately. poor kid! RSV kicked his butt and now we are reaping the effects. initially we (the doc & i) were crossing our fingers that with a little preventative medicine and occasional nebuelizer treatment we'd cross a bridge and never look back. no such luck. every time, and i mean EVERY time, Easton gets the sniffles it's a full-fl edge attack on his lungs too. i casually would poke fun at the weekly visits to the doctor's office, but i was truly expecting them to end with Savanna's 4 year well check last Tues. turns out we're in this for the long haul. i'm currently on a first name basis with the staff and Dr. L gave me a little "pep" talk and literal pat-on-the-back yesterday. it's been rough and i'm sure it showed. i hadn't slept more than 5 hours in two days. my baseball cap was my "quick fix" hairstyle and i'd been consuming more diet coke and granola bars than i'm sure is recommended {not to mention the fact that it was SNOWING as i pulled into the parking lot}. a little "your a good mom," "there's nothing you could have done to prevent this," pep-talk was very much appreciated and welcomed. so here we go. another bout of antibiotics, daily neb treatments followed by steroids, and house arrest. i'm seriously considering a "bubble boy" suit for this kid.

for the record, our list of ailments the last 3 months {since Feb}:

RSV-first experience
ear infection
lung infection
double ear infection-2 different antibiotics and shots needed
RSV-yup 2x in one season, not common, but happens
double ear infection-tubes anyone? anyone?
2-week hiatus of good health
double ear infection AND lung infection

here's to health insurance, prescription medications, and diet coke without em' "life" would surely push me over the edge :) *cheers*
