We are alive!!
Tuesday night was a very, VERY hard night. Mac, who is normally a very friendly, happy baby, screamed and cried uncontrollably all night in 20 minute increments. It was HORRIBLE!
I noticed that when he breathed, his chest and stomach weren't in sync. (one of the warning signs) He was coughing and wheezing and sounded pretty bad.
Wednesday I took him to the dr's and she also noticed the wheezing. Basically she said that the flu had turned into a bronchial thing. He got a breathing treatment and then they sent a nebulizer home with us.
He is doing a bit better...the cough is breaking up, but he is still having trouble breathing.
In other news:
Bella is still learning the in's and outs of being housebroken. She's actually done pretty well for a puppy. I mean, come on, try training your 4 month old to use the bathroom. Enough said.
Luke was able to work from home this week. (BLESSING!!) During his 15 minute breaks or lunch time, you can find him doing a variety of things around the house (raking up the NEVER ENDING leaves, taking Bella for a walk, changing light bulbs and other misc. things)
Livi went to school 3 times this week...YAY! (Especially since she didn't go once last week) She has had a hard time not going to school, but has loved swinging on the swingset and playing in the yard.
Spencer has LOVED having his own room. He loves the basement where he can play with his cars or going outside and jumping in the leaves.
T.V. is DEFINETLY an unheard word around our house now!! WAHOO!
Mac is awesome. Really. Even though he is sick and not feeling well, he loves to smile and talk to us. He has been sitting up for the past 1 1/2 weeks and even though he'll have a few misshapes, he is doing really well. He currently weighs 20lbs 15oz!! Chunk-O!
I have been going a bit crazy the past few weeks. It's a good thing, promise. Between sick kids, housetraining a puppy, moving, cleaning the other apartment and other things (endless errands, rearranging rooms, unpacking, mounds and mounds of laundry, raking leaves, changing the toilet seat and stripping the caulk off the shower) life is GREAT!! We are beyond blessed to be in THIS home and could not imagine being in another one....but that's a later post! :)

SO SORRY! You'll make it! I wish we were still neighbors and I could help you! :) HUGS!
I'm sorry to hear Mac's having a hard time breathing, but glad to hear he's getting better and still smiling and growing. :)
You're in our prayers; let me know if there's anything you need!
I'm SO glad to hear that things are looking up for you guys. Good luck with this next week!
Glad to hear your all doing better and back at blogging!
He is so dang cute--even with the breathing apparatus. I LOVE chunky bald babies!
