Update on the update

Jackson is still doing well with his breathing treatments and antibiotics.

He has his energy back and seems to be his normal self again.

When we got home from the fair the other night, both Sydney and Carter had fevers.

The next morning I looked in their throats and found white infected tonsils....again.

Carter was on day NINE of his second ten day antibiotic. 

Really?  Again?

I took them into the doctor...again.  Her jaw dropped...literally. 

She said, "I'm going to have to go read some stuff, I"ll be right back."

Both of their strep tests came back negative this time...so it's some other infection....that apparently is harder to kill than strep.  Also, both kids have double ear infections again (assuming the ear infections ever went away...)

She decided to shoot them with "the biggest gun" of antibiotic she had.

Those shots were so painful.  Both kids are limping on their poor legs today.

Both kids woke up fever free, but their throats are still nasty.

All three kids have a follow up appointment on Monday.  

Until then, Carter's feverish self prefers to rest on the nice cool tile.

While all this sickness is taking it's toll on our family, we are being blessed in many other ways.

McKay is loving his new job.  He comes home happy at the end of the day.  

We managed to switch jobs/insurance without a single day lapse in pay or coverage.

Our house buying process has gone through almost without a hitch.  We're just fingertips away from getting the keys.

When it seems like there won't be enough money...there always is....and extra.

SO, although it's tiring being home with sick sick kids, I'm seeing blessings pour in every day....and I'm happy to tough through the hard days...as long as it doesn't  last another 7 weeks.  ;-)
