UUUGH!
Well.. since I took that picture yesterday of Evan smiling, (from the last blog entry, see below), he hasn't smiled since. I don't even recognize this baby from his demeanor.. totally a different kid, whiny, can barely breathe without huffing and puffing. He woke up every hour again last night crying and screaming uncontrolably. He was so tired but his arms couldn't stay still.. it seemed like he was jittery. Now that stuff all started about 3 hours after I gave him the oral steroid.. and his temperature dropped to very cold! I don't think I'm giving the steroid anymore unless it's absolutly crucial. I'll keep on with the antibiotics and the breathing treatments and see if the jittery-ness goes away. Then if he still can't breathe well in the next couple of days, I might have to go back to the steroid. YUK! I'm almost positive that's what's making him miserable.. (besides this awful sickness) Evie's at school.. it's snowing and freezing outside.. Evan and I will stay home and watch tv today. And I will pull all of my hair out trying to help and please him. :o( I'm telling you, I'm starting to meltdown over this.
Well.. I'll keep you updated on my little munchkin.. hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Tina,
So sorry to hear little Evan is so miserable! I can't imagine how hard it has been for you also to take care of him when he's so unhappy. Oscar's been teething and there are times during our days where I hardly recognize the child as my own. It sounds like you're doing a great job trying to get Evan comfortable and on the road to being healthy :)
Thanks Erika! And Jen for calling me yesterday.. He's better without the streoid, that's for sure.. still wheezy and congested :o( But we're gonna make it through this!
