Sick -- again...

Aunt Katie and Luke came by for dinner and a visit Friday night. Parker was a little clingy, but he certainly loved snuggling his Aunt KK. I thought he was just tired.




We started breathing treatments that Tuesday and really hoped it was ward off any chest gunk. I debated calling the doctor but decided to wait.  Parker woke up Saturday morning with a low fever (100.4).  It all made sense why he was so clingy the night before.  Wil took Parker to the doctor. He said it was a chest infection, likely the start of pneumonia.  He started Parker on another antibiotic and steroids. 

Poor Parker just can't escape antibiotics. He was only off them two days when his wheezing started back (5 days total from the end of one to the start of this new one). They say that excessive antibiotics aren't good for kids... what are we supposed to do? He's been on one antibiotic after another since Thanksgiving...

And steroids... oh the joys of steroids...

My biggest frustration is that Parker took his last dose of his antibiotics and steroids today. His nose is still running, he's still congested, and he's still wheezing.
