Well, our healthy streak through the winter has ended...: ( Kellen started with the mother of all runny noses yesterday. I think I could wipe his nose every 5 minutes and still end up with him tasting a fair amount of mucous (you know how little kids stick their tongues up there to take a swipe: ) We are a week away from Carson's next surgery, so I was praying against all odds that Carson would be spared. But, let's be realistic, they touch all of the same things and Kellen was sneezing on ALL of it... you can't really get a two year old to cover his mouth and then remember to wash his hands over and over. Anyways, this evening, Carson started in with increased secretions, thicker and more color, and its enough that he couldn't keep anything down because he would gag on his secretions or cough hard enough, it caused him to throw up. It just breaks my heart (& I tend to forget how much when we go for long periods without getting sick). We were eating dinner tonight and it happened two or three times. After Carson finished coughing/throwing up, we heard this sweet voice, "[ex]Cuse me"...completely melted my heart.
Please be praying that these boys return to their normal healthy selves and for Preston and I. We do NOT want to make the trip to Cincinnati unless Carson is at his baseline. If we have to reschedule, we will do it but just praying it is clear. The past few times we have been there, Carson has either gotten sick right before or had a bad trip (where he threw up a bunch)...anyways, they see an inflamed airway and think he has 'reactive airway' which they say is treated with steroids. I do NOT want to have to put Carson on long term steroids unnecessarily. We just want them to get the most accurate picture of his airway. It would be a miracle if he got back to baseline in a week because it usually takes at least a week and a half or two but who says miracles don't happen?!?
Aside from that, we have had lots of fun these past few weeks, more nice weather to enjoy the outside. We have been to different parks SEVERAL times (Carson is the newest fan of slides...up until this past Friday, he could have cared less). Then this past weekend, the four of us completed our first 5K run and the boys had a blast at the Easter Egg Hunt.
Well, I better get to bed, praying we all get some sleep... Thanks to our many prayer warriors!
