Walking Pneumonia

Evan woke up sounding slightly worse than yesterday and my "mothers instinct" took over.  He still had no temp, but he sounded worse and different than when its just croup. So I called Dr. Thomas and he saw Evan and did a chest xray, which Ev thought was SOOO COOL! Chest Xray showed Mycroplasm Pneumonia (Walking Pneumonia). GREAT...and since Ella has been showing the same symptoms he said it was very likely she has the same thing...
SO the Rx is Biaxin, Robitussin w/Codiene, and Albuterol treatments 4x a day for BOTH kids.

ALBUTEROL....I had an albuterol treatment a few years back.  I am a talkative energetic person as it is....this medicene made me an uncontrollable chatterbox who as boucing off the walls....a GROWN adult woman!!! And my son is 4 and very very much like me in the talkative energetic department....I can't imagine what he is going to be like after a dose of that!!!  I better start some coffee....

CODIENE......my dad is allergic to it. My kids are NOT...This is another "make your kids act like wild heathens" medicene.

Albuterol + Codiene= LONG NIGHT....pray for my sanity. Pray that this medicene kicks some major pneumonia butt so we don't have o take it very long and my kids feel better!!!
