Tylenol, Decongestants, and Breathing Treatments Oh My!!!

When you have children who are medically fragile sometimes a cold can turn into something scarier than Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My! Hannah got a stomach virus on Thanksgiving day and thanks to Nissens and G-Buttons I can keep her hydrated so no harm there. Then this past Wednesday she started having nasal congestion which led to the 24 hour watch, worry, and treatments. Then Friday Jacob and Noah started with the same symptoms. For "healthy" Noah it is just a cold but due to his autism he does not understand what is happening with his body. For Jacob since his cardiac arrest this past March a cold turns into round the clock care, worry and monitoring of his respiratory status. The Lions, Tigers and Bears ie worry, lack of sleep, the unknown of how long or how sick they will get, or if this will end up in a hospital stay can get you down. So now that I have vented, I am going to focus on the times they are healthy and be thankful for the medical knowledge Mike and I have and for excellent doctors who are there when my kids are sick.
