our little sickie...

tanner has had a rough winter...to put it mildly. we all have had more than our share of illnesses this winter - i'm blaming it on the sub-zero temps that mankato stays in most of the winter. tanner however has had many ear infections, strep, pneumonia and a nearly constant cold/runny nose/cough. this past weekend aaron took him to the e.r. because i was sure he had pneumonia again (his breathing was clocked at 45-50 breaths/min.). turns out it was just a severe ear infection (which by the way, is not getting better - he had his "well" check today which ended up with more antibiotics, 2 shots, a referral to the ent and early intervention for speech therapy - gaaahhh!!)

anyway, last week (before the ear infection) he got hives all over his body...random!! they were gone within 24hrs. whatever!!!Y

Poor Tanner! What a rough winter! I hope spring comes early to Mankato, and the fresh air clears him out!

I didn't realize what a tough time he has had! I'm sorry I didn't do more to help you out! Remember, I am just a phone call away! I am here to help! What else are VT's for? I love your blog!

I understand, litterally. There was a year, ok 2 tha Megan was sick with ear infections, strip, tonsilitis, phuemonia, or the such for litterally all but 2-3 days a month, for 2 years. Tubes and adnoids out helped a little definane improvement but the real trick was when she was old enough to have her tonsils out. She hasn't been that sick since! Patients. It will get better someday. He might even go to nursery once in a while!

It is great to hear from you

Love,
