Poor little Brock is very sick again. He got a cold out of nowhere on Friday and by Saturday he was coughing so hard that he would throw up. I always take them to the doctor right away when they are sick so I knew what to look for. By Monday it was still just as bad, he wasn't eating well, not sleeping well, and was just overall miserable. So I called the doctor's office just to make sure there was nothing more that could be done. The nurse asked if he was having labored breathing, no. A fever, no. I explained he just has this horrible cough that gets so bad that he will throwup. She told me I need to bring him in right away because by the sounds of it he has pneumonia. So I got very upset that I didn't do what I normally would and just take him in right away. I don't think Seth, Doran, Brock or I could handle another 5 day hospital stay like last year! So when the doctor finally saw him he laid him down and looked at his little throat and sure enough he was really working those muscles every breath. I felt sick to my stomach and so mad at myself! Then he listened to his lungs for like three minutes and he said that he was shocked that there isn't a trace of anything in them! Finally I felt a little better. He checked his oxygen and it was only at a 93 (oxygen is required at 89) which is low but not terrible. He said he may be at the start of pneumonia or RSV and there is nothing we can do but watch. So I am praying that he doesn't get any worse.
Before all this though we enjoyed the nice, warm, sunny days outside! Doran and Brock both love the park. I didn't know if Doran would because he gets very nervous, but once he opened up to it he had a blast! He just would climb the ladder, go straight to the big slide, go down, and start over! Brock loves it too! He laughs when he goes down slides and it so cute! They both love being outdoors.
Here is Brocky in the sink after he threwup the other night. He seemed to like playing in there quite a bit! It did seem like he was growing until this hit. I pray he gets better fast!
Doran recently has decided he likes talking on the phone, mainly to Daddy. It is always fun to listen to the things he decides Daddy needs to know about.
We went to the Autorama tonight and boy was it exciting! Doran loved all the cars and motorcycles. He especially loved the Mach 5 from the Speed Racer movie. When we left he cried so hard! Everyone was laughing that we passed saying 'Oh, he is a car lover already!'
Seth and I have been married four years today! Tuesday night we spent our first night away from the kids to celebrate. It has been four wonderful years! I love you Seth!
Little Brock is sick again. He started coughing really bad again on Monday night and by last night was throwing up again due to coughing. This time I took him in right away! He has bronchiolitis, an ear infection, and a sinus infection. He is miserable. He has recently started to like blankets and his Curious George that his Auntie Lisa gave him. He is so sweet. He will carry it around squeezing him and kissing him!
We went up to Boise over the weekend and Doran had the time of his life playing with Cassie Ella! He was so sad the morning we were leaving, he kept saying 'No wanna go home! Wanna go to Idaho!' He is getting so smart. He likes to wear his backpack and tell me he is going to go to school. I love these boys!
Seth thinks Brock needs a haircut again! I am not sure if I agree or not but I just know it is getting long enough to get a little crazy! I want to grow it out a little more and see how curly it can get.
Doran's love of cars is just a strong as ever. Yesterday I told him it was time for dinner and he asked me to get Speed Racer and Racer X and when I did this is what I found. I thought it was pretty funny! He loves Speed Racer. He knows the difference between every car on the show. He will tell me whether it is the Mach 4, Mach 5, or Mach 6! So as I hope you can tell in the picture he has a little Racer X 'driving' big Racer X and a little Mach 5 'driving' the big Mach 5!
Today Seth made dinner for the first time ever! He made jambalaya with chicken and it was so tasty! He is the best husband in the whole world! I had to take pictures so we could always remember, but who knows, maybe Daddy has found a new hobby!
There is a new chef in the house!!!
