Sick Bay


We are sick The kids are sick - again.

I know everyone's kids are sick, but, there is always a but isn't there, but for some reason my kids get sicker than other kids who've been attacked by the very same virus. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic here but I know that most kids don't have oxygen level issues when they get a common cold.

My kids on the other hand have to be watched with a magnifying glass when any unsuspecting cough or sniffle arises for fear we might have to face the very thing we did Wednesday...the doctor with a report that the oxygen levels in Kyan's blood were less than they should be and his lungs were unresponsive to treatment.

To say the least – this is a nasty bug.

Apparently this bug also encourages my children not to eat. They went more than 48 hours without nourishment and not because I didn’t try – they didn’t even bat an eye at the milkshake I offered or even think about anything edible I passed there way. In fact, Kyan wouldn't even get out of bed - we even tried prying him out with TV but we couldn't shake him.


With the help of some powerful steriods and antibiotics the kids seem to be feeling better.

Awe! Poor baby. I'm glad he's on the mend! I hope they both are up and being crazy again in no time! Those trips to the Doc are never fun. Max gets those lovely low oxygen reports too. Stupid Oxygen.
