ER visit and more . . .

Kellan started getting a cold on Monday and a bad cough. By Tuesday morning I was trying to get him into the pediatrician because he had problems breathing all night. My pediatrician could not get him in until today. It is a little bit of a sore subject that your Dr can't get you in if your baby is 6 weeks old and is struggeling breathing. Well, last night Kellan's face turned this awful blue and it scared me to death so Mike and I took him to the ER. They did an RSV test and chest X-ray. He is negative for RSV but has an upper respiratory infection, which we can do nothing about at this point because Kellan is too young for antibiotics. The ER Dr said that most likely Kyler and Kole have a simple cold but in babies it can be so much worse. The Dr said don't let Kyler and Kole touch him. I understand that, but really how possible is that ?!? They love their little brother and all they want to do it kiss on him. I feel so helpless, Kellan now has no voice so his cry is silent. It is the saddest sounding thing. He continues to cough really bad and has only eaten 5 oz in 24 hours, which he usually eats 4 oz a feeding, so it is just killing me to see him hurt. He actually continues to be such a sweet boy through this even. It could be so much worse. He will sleep for like 2 hr intervals so at least we are getting some sleep.

Kyler and Kole continue to love school and are being great helpers. I have to leave you with just a few pictures of my precious angels. . . . .
