We have another fever today (Dex)... much coughing and kleenex (both boys)... and more neb treatments (Dex). This is our third go-round with illness in under five weeks for these boys. I'm dreading the possibility of another ear infection, as Dex just finished taking antibiotics for his last one a little over a week ago. Jaxon has already had two in the past month, as well. Aagh!!!
I'm not sure if I've posted on it in the past, but we found out over the summer that both boys have immune deficiency disease. Their particular deficiency is rather common, as far as immune deficiencies go, but it's becoming apparent that it's going to make cold/flu season pretty tough for these boys. I'm already recalling how many times they got sick last year... and now, this year, with school and playgroups, I can't help but feel like I should just quarantine them for the next five months.
I hate that they feel so miserable so often and I hate that there seems to be so little I can do to prevent it. Well, we're taking them in tonight to check for ear infections and will hopefully have them well enough to enjoy a Thanksgiving visit with D.R.'s family.
...and, as if on cue, I hear them waking from their nap...
