Pneumonia & Ear Infection

Yesterday was the beginning of it. Aaron went to pick up the kids to find out that Brennan had been laying on the couch for most of the morning and only started playing in the afternoon. He barely ate anything except the snack, which of course he loved. Kaidynce apparantly was so unbearable that the teacher looked as though she was ready to hurt someone (Aaron's words not the teacher's).

So they came home and the typical afternoon whining started. Thinking I would try and get them to eat, we got nuggets for dinner. It worked for Brennan and Kaidynce ate a little bit. A lot of coughing throughout the evening, combined with more whining made me very happy once bedtime rolled around.

Fast forward to this morning. Kaidynce will not leave me. She won't sit on the couch. She won't cuddle her blankets and stuffed animals. Brennan woke up and was the same way. Aaron came home to be with them and I head to work. We took them to the doctor's office just before noon and found out that they suddenly felt much better. Well except Brennan. If you asked him if he felt better he said, "Not yet!" But the running around in the office contradicted that.

Brennan was very good for Dr. Bob. He normally is scared of him but was truly an excellent patient, following all directions of breathing deeply and talking when needed. His diagnosis: Pneumonia!

Kaidynce was more leery of being a good patient. She would only sit still in my arms or if I was holding her hand. Luckily her diagnosis is a little better: Double Ear Infection!

Off to get antibiotics and lots of hydration and rest.
