Silas and Chaille went to the pediatrician today. Silas has had an awful cough, particularly at bedtime, and last night developed a fever in the night. He slept horribly last night. Chaille is super congested, with a runny nose, cough, and is drooling all over herself.
The diagnosis is that Silas just has a good old fashioned cough. He is being treated with prescription strength cough medicine. Chaille just has a cold as well, but he found mucus behind her right ear. So, he is preventing infection by prescribing Amoxicillin for her to take.
So, hopefully with the medicine, they will both sleep better tonight. Last night was rough, with lots of getting up and down. Silas ended up sleeping on the couch, and Chaille was up a total of 4 times because of her cough. This mommy is praying we sleep more tonight!!!
On a positive note, Steve was able to stay home today to help me with getting Avery from school and keeping Nolan at home while I took the other two to the doctor. It was such a blessing having him home today! Boy will we miss him tomorrow when he returns to work :o)
