Updates

Quick post/update....

It's been a whirlwind of a month around here. Lot's of ups & downs it seems like- which makes me really want the month of April to be over with - bring on MAY! But our most recent news is that Ty has pneumonia. He started getting a deep "barking" cough last week - I actually thought it was a slight case of the croup. So, I treated it as such - steamy showers, followed up by cool outside air, then humidifier in the bedroom (just the basic stuff). Well, after getting worse over the weekend, we ended up at CMH today with the news of pneumonia AND a left ear infection. We were given an antibiotic and sent home with instructions of rest, water, and lots of TLC. Apparently his left ear tube is about ready to fall out - hence, it's not really doing the job anymore. We spoke to Ty's ENT about 3 weeks ago, and he said that it isn't unusual for children to have to get a second set of tubes. Well, looks like we may be heading down that road at some point!

Bobby and I both started to not feel well yesterday too - but as you know, the show must go on for us. But we are definitely making Ty slow down so we don't end up admitted into the hospital.

I will get some new pics on this blog soon. Hope this warm weather this week will help get the "sickies" out of the air so we all start feeling better!

I am SO SORRY to hear about everything going on. I know what you mean about the tubes in the ears, Chase will get his 1st set in within the next week or so. The ENT told us the same thing about having to get it done 2 times. He said that 1 out of every 5 that he does have to have it done again. :-(

I wish that we were living up North so that I could help you out with Ty. I know that you need your rest too!!

MAKE SURE YOU AND BOBBY SLOW DOWN SOME TOO!! MOM AND DAD HAVE TO STAY HEALTHY TOO!! :-)
