Update

Well their is more sickness in our house. Thursday night i took Lucas to the hospital because he just was not acting himself. He was still coughing/wheezing and then when i put him on the floor he just laid there(he usually rolls right over as soon as i put him down) so i knew something wasnt right with my little guy... They did an xray, gave him some meds by mouth and a breathing treatment and they found that he has pneumonia in his right lung. So he is back on steroids and an antibiotic-tomorrow is his last day of them. Last night we took Rachael to the hospital because she was starting down with it too. But she just has a respiratory infection for now (doctors words). Lucas has a follow up appointment on Tuesday. I am hoping they can look at Rachael too that day. Never a dull moment in our house... We are working on getting our babies back to being healthy again...

7 Months

I cant believe that they are 7 months old today.. They sure are growing up quick on us.

We had Lucas at the doctors twice this week. He is now on steroids and the neubulizer. He will be finishes with the steroids tomorrow. He is still really coughing and wheezing so I am not sure if this medicine is actually working for him. He has learned to roll over from his back to tummy now and sure does love being on his tummy. He will roll to his tummy in his crib so we have to go in and roll him over so his face isnt in the mattress. He also loves to put the blanket over his head so we have to remove the blanket quite often so he can breathe. This morning while i was eating my yogurt i put a little bit on my finger and gave to him to see what his reaction would be and he licked his lips so i went to give him a little more and he opened up his mouth, i guess he likes vanilla yogurt.

Rachael is doing good, she was a little sick over the weekend but is doing better. I am wondering if she is starting to come down with the crap that Lucas has. I hope not but it would not surprise me any. She is really liking her apple juice. I am going to try mixing her cereal with the apple juice so maybe we can get some cereal down her that way. I will post to let you know how that goes. I took her to the chiropractor again yesterday and he notices a big difference in the way she holds her head now. She will see him again next week and then he wants to try to do every 2 weeks instead of every week to see how she does..
