Update on the kids

Let's start out with Cole's scope that he has this morning. He did really great! He has acid reflux, but it is not harming his esophagus. He has one small acid wear down spot but that is it! I am so happy that he does not have a severe case.

On to Lucy, little miss sick sick. She has had the same ear infection for 2 months now. After 3 different oral antibiotics, she had 3 shots of an antibiotic. She is now on breathing treatments too. We have to bring her machine to Florida with us just in case she needs some treatments while we are there.

Owen has an ear infection in each ear, despite being on antibiotics for almost a week. He is now on the shot antibiotic as well. He had a really rough night last night. He cried and cried about how bad his ear hurt him. I could see fluid right inside of his ear, so I know he must have been in some serious pain. I gave him some tylenol and stayed up with him pretty much all night. My poor little guy. He was not happy when he found out he was getting a shot. The lady at 7-11 bought him a slurpee because she felt so bad for him!

All of the kids will be getting benedryl before getting on the plane. The doctor said it will help keep their ears from popping and hurting during the flight. Owen has to take ear drops and a nose spray as well.

What a great time to pick to go to Florida! Hopefully the mildly more warm weather will help their little noses out and make them feel nice and happy.
