Friday Manny came home from school unusually quiet and not argumentative.....first sign that he wasn't feeling well. He complained of being cold and was sneezing nonstop. I took his temp (100) and gave him Motrin. Twenty minutes later he was even hotter (102.8). I called the Dr, we agreed to watch him overnight and see how he was Sat. morning. I thought for sure this was the beginning of the flu..had my handy dandy chart in front of me trying to figure out which flu it was...seasonal or H1N1??
Sat am came and he only had 100 degree fever so the Dr. decided not to call in Tamiflu and to continue with Motrin and the Oscillococcinum that I ran out and got him started on Friday night. He was back to himself all day Sat and only had low grade fever that night.
Sunday was the same thing, except the runny nose caught up with him and the coughing started. He woke me up at midnight last night saying he needed a drink and a treatment. Sad when a 4 year old can tell you he needs a treatment.
Daddy took him to the Dr today and he has fluid in his right lung...pneumonia. He is on continued nebulizer treatments and prednisone and an antibiotic.
Please keep him in your prayers to get well soon and not be hospitalized like the last time he had pneumonia.

Halloween 2009
Julian was my monkey this year, and he is quite a monkey climbing on everything at home!! Manny wanted to be Spiderman. The weather was yucky, warm, but rainy. I decided we'd do the mall then hit up all of the family. Manny really enjoyed trick or treating this year and ate more candies last night than I care to think about. I'm sure he figured he'd never get the chance again, or even get his bag back so he'd better eat what he could. Julian didn't quite get the hang of holding his bag open and getting candy...he did say treat once in a while and snatched up any lollipop that was put in his bag. Overall the boys had a great night!!
his other fav thing
notice the lolli in his mouth (that was number 2)
teasing Ethan with his lolli (#3)
Manny LOVES to make Ethan laugh

home sick
Julian and I were home last week because he had croup...not fun!! He needed treatments on the nebulizer every 4 hours and a 2nd treatment 2 times a day as a double dose, so a 20 min treatment. He just laid there on me each treatment and fell asleep, a sure sign he was really sick!! He also had to take prednazone...yup, that came right back at me...he spit every last drop right back out. He thankfully is much better...now it's allergies and a cough, but he is responding to allergy meds and treatments. Here are a few pics from one of our 6 days stuck in the house :)
see?!!
his new thing of squinting of the eyes
waiting for Manny to come home from school.....asked ALL day for Manny and Taina

Dad's friend brought some equipment to the house to deliver our new shed, thanks to Aunt Judy and Uncle Chip!!!! Julian had fun on the trailer and Manny LOVED his ride in the skid steer.
