Never Ending Illnesses

So....a lot of people have been asking how the boys are feeling. Well...this is what I have to report. Since Riley has been in school he has missed several days of it. It seems that he is getting sick with everything. He's had the stomach flu, croup (twice) and ear infections. Today we made another trip to the doctors. On November 3rd...he had an ear infection. This was his first one that he has had since he has been a baby. He took his medication for a week. We then went in and he had his ears checked on the 14th to make sure that they were clear. We found that he had fluid behind one of them. We were just suppose to watch it. During that visit, we also found out that he was wheezing. He was put on a steriod so that it didn't develop into something worse. We also found out that Aiden had a fever. He was going to get his flu shot...but I mentioned that he was coughing a little bit the night before. They took his temp and he had a fever. So...he didn't get the shot. That weekend they both ended up having bad colds. They seemed to be doing better, until early this morning. Riley woke up crying saying that his face and throat hurt again. We gave him some Tylenol and watched him during the morning. He complained about his ear hurting at Aunt Becca's house. He was going to stay home from school...but after having Tylenol, he felt better and wanted to go. When I got done with school, I went to pick him up at his school. When I got there, he looked horrible. He fell asleep before we even left the school parking lot. When we got to the doctors office, he ended up having a high fever and bad ear infection. He was sad when the doctor told him that he had to stay home from school tomorrow. Before we left, Aiden ASKED if he could have his flu shot. They took his temp and he was fine. The lab tech came in and asked us to take his pants off so they could give him the shot. He WOULD NOT do it. He did not want to show his underware. It was so funny. We pulled his pant leg up and he SMILED almost the whole time he was getting the shot. He had no tears. He was so brave. We are hoping that he stays healthy and that Riley is better soon!
