Craziness...

Lately I am burned out to the core from sitting in Dr. offices.

Tired just isn't the word anymore.

Since our ER trip on Thursday night, big sister has been on Augmentin to hopefully clear out this walking pneumonia crud for good. Yesterday we had a follow up appointment and her chest X-ray showed that since being on 2 different antibiotics for 2 weeks, there hasn't been much of a change.

She's going to see Isaac's pulmonologist (hopefully this week) and have a chest CT done to figure out what's up. She doesn't seem super sick right now like she did on Thursday. The Dr.s office said that she can continue going to school, but she just can't do taekwondo, PE or recess until she's better. This thing is tricky because look at how good she looks in the photo. I thought for sure she was getting better. BTW the girl in the middle is my cousin Denise. I haven't seen her in 6 years. It was fun to catch up with her over the weekend and we had lots of good laughs together.
Please continue to pray and send good thoughts for little miss to get better and for the pulmonologist to find out how to treat her. We really want to take this mini vacation next month to the Oregon coast.....it would be a much needed break for us. If she's still sick, we might not be able to go.

But, there is good news....

Isaac is doing so well respiratory wise that on Tuesday his pulmonologist said that we only have to give him neb treatments 2 times a day. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but for a long time we had to give him nebs every 4 hours around the clock just to keep him out of the hospital!
