A post-Thanksgiving Cold

Okay so much for posting every day but at least I finally remembered.  We had a nice Thanksgiving - were at Tina's, where they ate before we got there (apparently the turkey was done so they couldn't wait...), and then headed out to the farm by 5ish & stayed there Friday.  Max had a fantastic time running all over the place on Friday - he was outside the better part of the day on Friday.  Unfortunately he picked something up and wound up with a cold on Saturday that started to impact his lungs pretty badly by Sunday.  So Monday morning we went to the doctor for his wheezing & got a lovely nebulizer.  That doctor's appointment was worse than shots because he was so scared of what was going on - poor kiddo.  Then I had to drag him off to Target to get the prescriptions before heading home.  Followed by more fighting to give the nebulizer at home (distractions helped!) and then I had to give him some terrible tasting medicine which he gagged on (prednisone).  Now, it's Thursday/Day 3, and he is a pro at the nebulizer - we do it as 'blow by' versus the mask, which helps a ton.  He does it 4 times a day.  And we just did his last dose of the prednisone this morning, which he was also getting so good at (I mixed it with a full packet of stevia & a little bit of grape emergen-c powder because otherwise it tastes absolutely horrid).  Woohoo!  We'll continue nebs through today, and then decrease tomorrow and Saturday.  So much fun this week!

Jason got mad at me for saying "Babe better not be getting sick..." (he is getting over a cold) this morning.

He met Sophie the giraffe tonight! She is really fun to chew on.

*~*One good thing about today.*~*

I got to work from home. Loved my shorter commute & tea kettle 5 feet away!

*~*One thing that was not good today:*~*

It was super icy out. All the rain froze & our street is now a skating rink. Also the sidewalks so I couldn't run over lunch. Actually I used it as an excise.

*~*Max! This was actually yesterday. I forgot to take a picture today...
