Sick

We tried to keep Brigham away so he wouldn't get sick, but he got sick anyway. Jason got me sick and then I got Brigham sick. It started with a sore throat because he was drooling for a few days, which he never does. Then he got really stuffed up and had a little cough. I was really scared because that is what the doctors at the hospital did to us. They made us scared about every little thing since he was a preemie. I took him to the doctor and he checked his lungs and ears and everything was fine. Brigham's pediatrician is a really great guy, he doesn't treat Brigham like a preemie. Brigham has a cold and his coughing is getting worse but I think the reason for that is because it is the end of the cold, and I have to suction his nose twice a day, he hates that. Although Brigham was born 7 weeks early, at this point I don't think any one would be able to tell. He is gaining weight and growing, and is doing almost all the things that babies do at his age. He is catching up quick, I thought it would take about a year or two, but he is a quick learner.

I have learned that it is impossible to keep Jakob from getting sick. I guess in a way it's not a terrible thing to let him experience a cold once in a while, but after checking Jakob's ears the ped told me to make sure he doesn't get sick again...yeah, well, he is getting a runny nose and coughing again. And we stay home too! Maybe he gets it from the kids up stairs...good luck avoiding it.
