Another Sick Child and a Video

We just want everyone to be healthy around here.  Just as Makenna got over her pneumonia this week and we finished her round of antibiotic we noticed Beckham getting stopped up and coughing a little.  He started this on Wednesday, but never ran a fever, so there was no point of taking him to the doctor.  Well, yesterday afternoon when I picked him up from the babysitter's I could tell he didn't feel good at all and Ashley told me he had just begun to get hot.  I knew with it being Friday afternoon we needed to take him somewhere, but unfortunately I wasn't feeling well either due to an extreme earache.  Justin left work and finished up working from home and then headed to urgent care with Beckham.  They didn't have a xray machine there so they sent them to ER.  They tested him for a bunch of things and he was diagnosed with RSV and pneumonia.  Luckily, it is in the early stages, so they just prescribed a bunch of medicine and sent them home--only 5 and half hours after it all began.  We are now the proud owners of a nebulizer machine (don't know how much that's going to cost us) and a bunch of medicine.  However, we would pay any amount necessary to get him better.  I am just thankful the little guy didn't have to be hospitalized.  He seems to feel better today so hopefully he is on the road to recovery.  I can't believe we have had both kids in the ER/doctor's office in less than two week. I am glad we have good insurance.

So, needless to say, we have had a stressful past 24 hours.  Thankfully, I am feeling better and my ear has stopped hurting.  I think I got fluid in it from doing a nasal rinse yesterday morning and it finally escape after a period of time.

To end on a positive note, here is a video I shot of the kids earlier in the week.  It is Makenna playing peek-a-boo with Beckham trying to get him to laugh.  Of course, she missed the part about hiding her eyes, but I guess her extreme looking up replaces that in her version of the game. :)  I just think it is too cute not to share.
