Two Sick Cramond's

We've had a sick household this week with two trips to the doctors

On Wednesday we took Owen to his doctor because he had a bad cough. He was up the night before coughing the whole night. He sounded so bad...although I think I was more upset about it then he was. Anyways, his doctor checked his lungs and they were clear and sounded good, which was a relief. My book that the hospital gave us said to call the doctor as soon as a child under 3 months has a cough, well I didnt read it until late Tuesday night, and it started on Monday. I felt relived it was only a cold. He's doing a little better today, so hopefully the worst is over for him. He is even really smiley today.

Today I had to go to urgent care. I've a the stomach flu since Monday and it hasn't gotten any better. Last night I woke up and was shivering uncontrollably for a couple of hours, despite the comforter, electric blanket, and two other blankets. Well the doctor ordered a bunch of lab work and found nothing (well other than anemia-which we knew about). As I was walking out of urgent care I almost passed out-to the point of everything going black. Two hours and two bags of IV fluid later I still only had a blood pressure of 92/55. The kept me there for about a half an hour and then the nurse walked me around and my BP came up some so I got to go home. The doctor told me to go home, rest, and eat as much salt as I could-to keep the fluids in. He said to go home and eat a whole bag of potato chips...best doctors orders ever :)

Anyways Owen and I rested tonight and are feeling somewhat better.
