Our dear little Maximus is not having a good week! He's really been struggling with a bad cough since last Thursday and it's just gotten to be too much this past couple of days. We went to the doc on Monday to no real solution. "He's sick, keep him hydrated. It's nothing serious but bring him back if he has a fever or trouble breathing." Fever came last evening and I was really fortunate to get an appointment with one of the doctors we have a lot of confidence in for first thing this morning.
It was a good thing we had the appointment. He had an AWFUL night. It seemed he could barely catch his breath and he barely got any sleep. The verdict: a bad upper respiratory infection with the possible beginnings of bronchial pneumonia. The RX: a kiddie version of Zithromax. I gave him the first dose today and he should be done in 5 days. Please keep Max in your thoughts for good health.
Despite his illness, we had some good laughs today. He had a lot of fun making a birthday drawing for our friend, Ann, and then drawing all over his arm, hands, head and belly. LOVE those washable markers! Two seconds in the tub and he was clean.
This mama will be happy when his daddy is finally able to come home tomorrow! It's been a long week for Dan and at and for me at home with a sickly Max who hasn't really slept through the night since last Friday. We both need to catch up on our Z's. Dan has promised that he'll sleep with the giant in the treehouse and I can have Mommy/Daddy room all to myself with the door closed. Isn't he the best?
Hope all of you are doing well. We'll be watching our second game of the football season on Saturday. Dan missed the first last Sunday night so it's kind of like our first game of the season. AND all of our Packer gear arrived on Tuesday so we'll be wearing the cheesehead, Max will be in his little jersey and we'll have on our vintage NFL gear. I am such a girl! I decide to be a football fan and my first actions are to go shopping for gear and plan menus for the games. I've just got one thing to say, "Go Packers!"
