Sick Family

I woke up Sunday not feeling great, but by the time we left the west side and were nearly home...Ryan and I both felt pretty awful, with sore throats and headaches. We were feeling worse by the minute, so Ryan called in sick for Monday. By Monday, we could tell Casey wasn't feeling great either.


On Wednesday we called the pediatrician, as Casey had a runny nose and cold. She said to get a humidifier and saline drops for his nose. We tried that, but the poor guy seemed to be getting worse, sneezing green snot, coughing and having a hard time nursing. So, today I took him to the immediate care, when he woke up he just sounded awful! They were so busy, we were sent home and told they would call me when they were ready for him. We went back and the Dr gave him some antibiotics to help out. We see his pediatrician Monday. Poor guy just doen't feel great, and spits up so much! We are going through serious amounts of burp rags and clothes. Casey just wants to be held and snuggled, which is fine with me, but makes it very difficult to do anything at all!! I think Ryan and I are on the tailend of the cold, so hopefully Casey is too. I asked the pharmacist what I could take for a cold while breastfeeding, and she said nothing...try saline drops and humidifier. I am a little jealous of Ryan and his dayquil and nyquil, but they pass into your milk and the pharmacist did not recommend it.
