Maybe an upward turn soon
I took Kelsea in to the doctor today. The poor kid is not improving at all. She is worse. She has been on penicillin and he looked in her ears and went-"OH" she has double ear infections I guess that can cause the nasty cough he said and that bacteria also can cause bronchitis. He didn't want to do a chest x-ray because he was wanting to treat her with the same antibiotic no matter what the results. Her pulse was really high and her bottom number on her blood pressure was high. So she is on Zythromiacin. That really good stuff for 5 days. Hopefully she will start feeling better real soon. He gave her some cough medicine too. As soon as we got home she coughed so much she threw up. Kylee did that too last night, really bad. Amber couldn't sleep because her cough kept her up too. But the little girls should be able to go back to school Weds. Fortunately the little girls were not hit as hard. With Kelsea on better meds I should be able to go back tomorrow without worrying about her all day. I feel on the verge of something everyday but it is mild so far, thank goodness. Lee Joe is back on Thursday for the weekend and then he is gone again.

Not to be an alarmist, but I'm wondering if you shouldn't consider changing doctors sooner rather than later. That concerns me that he didn't do a chest x-ray, it seems you would want a definitive diagnosis even if you decide to use the same antibiotic. Would the treatment be different if the x-ray showed pneumonia, I wonder?
Again, not trying to scare you but it seems it would be better to be thorough and wrong then to cut corners and miss something.
Miss you all. Give kisses and hugs to all those beautiful sickos for me. :)
Love you,
Liss
