This is kind of a pity party for myself so I apologize in advance....

Friday Kylie's congestion was green and I didn't want to wait for the weekend and have to go to urgent care so I took her to the dr. Good news--Clear lungs and ears...bad news sinus infection and antibiotic. I called it good news overall because this means her asthma controller meds are doing what they are supposed to do....

Fast forward to last night. Logan felt warm to me and his nose was a little runny. I took his temp--100.1. A little high but not high enough to merit a dr's visit. This morning I take his temp again and it is 100.8. I call the CHOA nurseline just to find out what temp I need to take action. My brain is fried and I just needed to know when to worry I guess. She tells me to take him to the ER and not urgent care because infants can get pneumonia. Eric and I decide to wait a little while just to see if his temp comes down. He wakes up from his nap at 101 so I go to the ER and Eric stays home with Kylie. His temp is 102 at the ER. RSV/Flu was negative and no UTI but his white blood cell count is really high. They gave him an antibiotic through his IV and also put him on breathing treatments.

I have to take him back to the ped tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok but the ER doc said probably just a sinus infection with wheezing. We had such a rough year with Kylie with the constant sickness and wheezing and I guess I thought that I would magically cure all of it by staying home with them. I know this doesn't mean that Logan has asthma too but I almost cried when they brought in the mini tube and inhaler for him.

I just feel so bad for my babies right now.....
