Not sure what I ever did to deserve a Saturday like this one! It was supposed to be an easy day.
Brendan’s short issue with his sats seems to be gone at least, he is back on his normal O2 level and was in a pretty good mood all day. So that is good news. He did break out in a prickly rash this morning, but I am pretty confident it is just from being too hot and sweaty in his pajamas that we left on too long. We are keeping an eye on it.
Trevor woke up super stuffy, big thick snot running out of his nose, and having to breathe through his mouth. In addition to starting up the cool mist humidifier, we did some saline spray and nose sucker treatment and that helped him at least get through the day and drink his bottles. But combined with a top tooth breaking through, stuffy nose, and waking up at 2am, he was just a mad mad baby today.
He cried so much, I wanted to cry myself. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it another minute, he finally fell asleep. It only took big standing, rocking, and bouncing movements and singing for about 30 minutes. I thought my lower back was on fire.
The cough I have had since the boys got sick in October has still been lingering and today it fired up so much, I very nearly got Brendan’s mist collar machine out to breath in. By the time I put Trevor down, I had a fever of 100.4 and I was so cold, 4 layers of blankets was not enough. Bill was running a low temp too. So far no temp from either of the babies.
Bill watched Brendan so I could get about an hour rest after some Tylenol and fortunately the fever broke. Trevor climbed under some covers with me and had his dinner sitting on my lap and he went to bed early. I expect to hear from him several times tonight.

This is our night without a nurse, so I have taken some more Tylenol and a 5hr energy and am shooting for about 1am and then Bill can take over.

Not too many pictures today. Trevor was just lying around with a bear.

And then he got squished.

Brendan really loves the corn popper. He almost got from sitting up to a hands and knees position all by himself today because he was trying to reach it. I can’t even imagine what we will do when he is able to crawl. We will be untangling fools.

He tries to do it himself

And then he gives up and just bites it.

With the holiday coming up, we are going to have some shifted shifts and fill in nurses, it ought to be an interesting week. Let’s just hope everyone can get and stay healthy. My doctor always told me that the Monday following Thanksgiving was the busiest day in her office because of all the people that traveled and got together with large crowds to share food. All the shared viruses pop up symptoms Sunday and Monday.
