Labour Day Weekend we all got sick. Everybody. It was miserable.
I got over it within two or three days, but it has lingered much longer for Scott and R. In fact, we're pretty sure Scott has bronchitis, which has possible brought on the symptoms of croup -- a narrowing of the upper airway caused by inflammation associated with bronchitis. The description sounds terrible, but it mostly means that Scott has been coughing a lot.
The coughing has been interfering with his sleep, which was already problematic since the move. Often, he will be almost asleep and suddenly he will have a little coughing fit and wake up again.
It's hard on him and and it's hard on us -- on R mostly. Since I've just gone back to school, she takes the brunt of it. Unfortunately, she's been feeling pretty rotten herself. She is finally getting over her own cough, and she still isn't 100 percent recovered from the delivery.
We managed to find a doctor, thanks only to personal connections, and they are both heading in there next week for a "meet and greet". In the meantime, there isn't a lot of sleeping going on.

Just be careful that the doctor doesn't keep prescribing different antibiotics if they seem not to work. The doctor did that to Connor when he was about 6 months old and finally I was fed up. We took him to a different doctor and that's when he was diagnosed as asthmatic. This was when we were living in Alberta too.
Geez, could you imagine how many different kinds of antibiotics this kid could have gone through if we didn't get a second opinion.
Sorry for the illnesses - bet Scott wished his daddy was not going to school so he could hold him all the time like he used to, and let Rachelle sleep!
