Happy Thanksgiving 2009

We had lots to give thanks for this Thanksgiving. I was so grateful to have Brock's Banzel med issue resolved and thought he was on the right track. However, a few days later, a few sniffles turned into some major sinus trouble, and he AND Cora ended up with the same sickness Avery had earlier. Avery responded so well to an antibiotic that the ENT prescribed, I decided to get B and C there also. No luck getting them in with the Thanksgiving holiday schedule--there were no appointments available......BUT Dr. prescribed the same antibiotic as Avery, considering they had the same symptoms. Super! I thought we could nip this sickness in the bud and all would be well for Thanksgiving and so on.

Cora responded great and her symptoms started improving. Brock, not so much!

Wednesday, I was all set to take some of Brock's supplies into school and thought I might spend some time visiting. No sooner than I stepped into the building, I was greeted by an aide from Brock's room telling me my little guy was vomiting sick again! Are you kidding me? I was having deja vu of the Banzel nightmare all over again.

When I saw Brock, I thought it could to be the newly introduced antibiotic, so I quickly called the pediatrician and thankfully I was able to get Brock in as soon as I could drive him there! Brock was not tolerating the 1st antibiotic with Erythromycin, so he was put on Amoxicillin.

YAY! He is coming around and his nose is clearing.

We don't have many smiles, but I still HAD to take my annual Thanksgiving picture. We spent Thursday with Jason's family, so right before heading out for our almost 3 hr drive I posed the kids with the infamous turkey. I'll cut Brock some slack for his lack of smiles, but he only has a day or so! I want smiley Christmas card pics! :)

Regardless, I have 3 special blessings I am forever thankful for. Avery, Brock, and Cora.

My little Turkeys!
