Thur Nov 19, 2009

Hello everyone! So Blake had his EEG on Tues. It went well-we are still waiting on the results. By Tues night Blake had a cough, and by Wed morning he was weezing and coughing like he had croupe. I took him to the doctor Wed morning and yep he has croupe. We missed therapy at rehab to go to the doctor-but still were able to make his AFO apt. They cut the toe plate off his boot so now he can bend his foot when he walks. I think it will help a lot! So when we got home he took a nap, when he woke up he still sounded horrible. We gave him the stereroid they prescribed. After his bath I was getting him dressed and I noticed his chest sinking-I called Phil in to look too. We didnt like the way he was breathing so I called ask a nurse(I love them) and she advised me to go to the hospital to get him looked at. Since Phil had to get ready for work I called Christian, who of course met me at Childrens Mercy South Urgent Care. I dont know what I would do without her!! They checked him out and said its still just croupe and that opening his window to let some cool air in will help, and use a humidifier. They also prescribed us ear drops and antibiotic for his ear infection. The doctor advised me it would be best to keep him home today to watch him and let him rest. So another day of school was missed. :( I am just hoping that he will get better soon, poor guy sounds horrible. So that has been our fun week lol. Phil thinks staying up till midnight on Mon night and waking up at 4 on Tues for the EEG was too hard on him. Who knows. I just hope he gets well soon! We are planning on going to rehab tomorrow since he hasnt had a fever and seems to be doing better. He just sounds bad.
