Still Sick

DJ had gotten sick and I knew something wasn't right when he falls asleep in the car after the Dr appointment within 5 minutes of leaving on our way to get a chest x-ray... see the sucker on the seat next to his car seat!!?? ummmm THAT never happens! On any other day, that sucker would've been eaten before getting in the car from leaving the dr's office!

We went to get chest x-rays to rule out any lung infection... clear lungs... no answers to what is getting DJ so sick. :(

DJ was on steroids and supposed to do breathing treatments to get rid of the croupy cough and breathe better. Daddy and DJ would play games on the iPad to make the breathing treatments more bearable.

We had all sorts of medications to take... I think Callie also developed a fever, so she was taking stuff too... DANG!

After a week of a fever and no answers... the Dr said, we need to draw blood to rule out anything serious... so this picture shows how you get blood out of a 3 year old... TIE THEM DOWN! I must say, although so hard to see your child go through this... it was the BEST way to do it because they are still. The poke hurts... BUT if he wasn't tied down and jumped, they wouldn't be able to find a vein, try again & again, crying, flailing about, it COULD'VE been a nightmare. I am greatful for this contraption to hold him still. DJ thought it was all great fun getting all wrapped up like a mummy until the needle poke. He did GREAT and no bad memories of a terrible experience except the poke... again, it could've been a nightmare! Soooo after all that, his temperature happen to go away the very next day. A few days after that, DJ's blood tests came back NORMAL!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!
