SICK KIDS!!

If you get a chance, please pray for my kids - especially Micah. A&K have had colds since Friday night (not a huge deal), but Micah went from going to bed perfectly healthy Sunday night...to waking up on Monday morning with bad cold symptoms and a temp of 103.2!!! He's pretty much had a 102-103 degree temp since then (it goes down with tylenol but always comes back up after 3 - 3 1/2 hrs). After a night of no sleep for Micah and I because of his heavy congestion and still very high fever - we're taking him to the doctor this afternoon. I'm thinking he has another (his 5th) ear infection - which would mean antibiotics and hopefully feeling better within 24 hours. Hopefully that's all it is. Plese pray for the little guy if you get the chance!! He's miserable right now and doesn't understand why he doesn't feel good! :( THANKS!! :)

UPDATE: We're back from the dr's office, and Micah did in fact have an ear infection in one ear, so hopefully with this antibiotic he'll be feeling better soon! Dr said that if he has another ear infection within the next 2-3 months that we would have to see an ear doctor about maybe getting tubes in his ears! :-(

Tommy had to visit the ENT about his repeated ear infections. Now, the minute he gets a cold the doctor has him on a one dose a day preventative antibiotic. This stops all the congestion from turning in to an ear infection.So far, no more ear infections and no tubes.

WOW!!!! That sounds like some really good medicine!! If we end up going to the ENT - I'm gonna have to ask him about that. Anything to keep him from having to get tubes!! Thanks, Maureen!! :) (Hey - did any of those clothes end up fit Jaime's son? Thanks again for letting us borrow them!!)
