Feeling better...


Not feeling too good...
I still don't feel good two days later... Feeling better today and almost back to normal :)

Ugh, we just experienced our first real sickness. He has had colds and such, but never a fever of 103 and a horrible cough with wheezing! Of course, I kind of freaked out. I thought for sure you take your kid to the emergency room when that happens...Michael assured me that you can manage it at home :) So after lots of Motrin, trip to the doctor, a chest x-ray, albuterol breathing treatments, and some steroids we are almost back to normal. I am SO tired too! Michael and I both have been exhausted from it! You worry and stress. Will was grumpy and needy and crazy from the steroids and sleep deprived, etc. We are glad to be on the mend...

I am gald that Will is feeling better! It is so hard when they have the croup/whezing b/c it is so scary! We have spent several nights in the steamed up bathroom. Hope that you all get some rest tonight!

Poor little Will. Courtney, he's such a pretty baby - I love those precious blue eyes, even when he's sick! Give him kisses and hope he feels 100% SOON!

i tried to call you today to see how will was doing--i had no idea it had gotten so bad. i'm SO sorry--poor little guy! it is so pitiful when they get so sick. lilly went unresponsive and limp once with a horrible high fever--that about scared the life out of me.
he's pretty cute for someone who's sick!

There has been a bug going around...must be going everywhere! Hope you and Michael don't get it. Glad that things are on the up end.

Oh Courtney... this all sounds so familiar! I'm glad that Will is feeling better. It is such a helpless feeling to be parent when they are that sick. Hope you guys get some rest!

Poor little thing! We are all sick here too.
Hey! I took Gracie to the ER one time w/ a fever of 105 & they scolded me...they said "numbers don't matter" & totally blew me off. The ER is overrated! So-be glad you didn't take him.
Anyway-I'm so glad he's feeling better!!! Hopefully you'll all get some rest soon. :)

So glad Will is feeling better. I HATE those kind of sicknesses. Nothing is scarier than watching your baby struggling to breathe. Thank goodness for albuterol, steroids and motrin!! Hope you get some rest!

Poor baby! I hated to hear that he was so sick. I am glad he is on the mend. Sick kids are no fun at all. His hair is getting so long. I miss you guys and hope to see ya'll sooner that later!

So sorry to hear he's been so sick. Sounds like you and Jana Hamby could compare notes. We never had all that. Sounds very scary! Glad he's on the mend. He's looking so big BTW!

Poor Will - and poor Mommy. I am so glad that he is doing better. He looks pitiful in that first picture on the couch next to you. He is so precious - I am sure it is miserable when they are sick. Fortunately, we haven't experienced that yet but I know my day will come. Glad yall are all doing better. Hopefully you can get some rest now.
