Blacklight mini golf...in between sickness last month.
I feel so bad for Lucas...we all had strep, then he got a cold with a sinus infection, then he caught the flu, and now he has bronchitis. I know he does, even though his useless doctor says he doesn't and "his body is just recovering from the flu.." These are new symptoms after he was getting better from the flu. The doctor also said he didn't hear any congestion...well, Lucas is no longer speaking because his throat is so bad, and he can't swallow foods...I SWEAR there is something about me and doctors, that makes them write me off whenever I say anything...and I turn out to be right...he doubted Lucas had anything before until he tested positive for the flu...I KNOW MY SON. He has a fever and is throwing up, not because of his stomach, but because his irritated throat won't keep food down and he chokes on everything. So I am keeping him as hydrated as possible, giving fruit, popsicles and pedialyte, letting him rest with his blankie, cool baths, and tylenol for the fever. He has been sick nonstop with new things for a month. I am tired of paying co-pays to be told nothings wrong. I know there is no treatment per se for bronchitis, but it could develop into pneumonia and he's so young I didn't want to assume it was viral. Well, if his fever remains high tomorrow I might take him somewhere else. It's been a few days and I just want my kid to play again! It's heartbreaking to see him staring blankly, not responding, not talking because his throat, not eating, not laughing...not teasing Olivia like usual.
Since I don't have any recent pics of him, I thought i'd show some pics of him from May of 2011, 2010 and 2009 to remember how much he's grown :)

You always inspire me to do more when it comes to being told by your doctor that nothing is wrong. It happens to a lot of us. They see so many patients and like to categorize or group us into what is going around. It's easy.
Do you miss Baby Lucas? I see him and I am like AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW <3
yeah, I know I probably seem overbearing to doctors. I have just had some bad experiences so I don't always trust them. I know from reading the symptoms Lucas has bronchitis and I think he will get better on his own, but this young is scary...the monitor was all the way up last night because his breathing has been so bad. He is a little more playful today so I think it will get better.
YES i miss him as a baby. Seeing those pics brings me back to so many memories that seem so distant now. I hate to sound like I don't love Olivia just as much, but there is certainly something special about your first mommyhood moments. Olivia is just so demanding it was sometimes hard to feel that same 'aww' feeling then, but i do now! She's such a character and has added so much fun into our mix lol.
I tell you, I LOVE the interaction between L & O---hearing them have real conversations is the cutest thing. And when they greet each other after one of them being up or downstairs, its' so funny! "Hi woocas" "Hi lala". Olivia felt sad for how sick Lucas was last night she hugged him and said "wuv you brudder" :)she usually is competitive with him for attention!
OOOOOOHHHHHH that almost made me squeel when you said olivia said, wuv you brudder. oh my gosh, so adorbable
It's really entertaining to witness their honest interactions. They know exactly what the other is talking about or what imaginative game the other wants to play. I need to record it when I can...without them noticing :)
