The boys are sick

June 3, 2008 filed under Uncategorized | Comments Closed

… again… yes, both of them.

I actually forgot to blog about the last bout 2 weeks ago, but this time Bradley is worse.

We took Bradley to the doctor on Sunday, he has croup.  And guess what… there are no cough mixtures on the market without sulphates or sulphurs!  So, the only thing he can get is cortisone, and stuff in a humidifier!  Which is ok… anything but getting Steven Johnson’s Syndrome again!  It’ll just take longer for him to recover.

He’s back at school today, but I’m hoping that he’s ok.  He looked decidedly pale last night before he went to bed and in fact a bit blue around his eyes.  We’re watching for signs of the Steven Johnsons closely.  On Sunday we got quite a fright because his lips were bright red in the evening, and last night the soles of his feets were quite red… but it seems to go away.  In a way, I think we’re watching him too closely… kwim?

As for Connor, he’s got a runny nose and a cough again.  If it gets much worse we’ll have to take him to the doc too!  We had such a bad night last night, he barely slept because he couldn’t breathe. 

Hopefully we all get more sleep tonight.

    Aww poor lil guys :( I hope they’re both feeling better soon and Bradley’s SJS stays AWAY!

    I very much know what you mean about watching him too closely.

    Sometimes, when one of my girls is sick, I will just take her onto the couch and sleep right there with her so I can hear every breath and cough.

    I hear ya, babe!

    Wishing for a speedy recovery for the fam!
