Ma-Wha?

Ok, so March was a complete wash for us. The afternoon of March 1, Toe came down with a 100 degree fever. His temp stayed over 100 for a week. Meanwhile, Jason and I got sick, too. Head colds, nothing major. However, as usual, the head cold traveled to Toe's chest and settled in. J and I got better. Toe's cough just wouldn't go away. We did three breathing treatments a day to keep his mucus moving through his lungs and did saline rinses in his nose daily (you can tell he was sick, because HE suggested it). We kept in touch with the CF clinic and finally we all decided it was time for antibiotics. Then a two week course of antibiotics. I don't know about other kids, but Toe on antibiotics is like Robin Williams at the height of his stand-up comedy years. Tons of energy and he does. not. stop. talking. Even more than normal. He sleeps poorly and is just wired the rest of the time.

Breathing treatment early in the month. He was asleep.

We hardly left the house. Pretty much we were limited to eating, breathing treatments, and a little play in-between. We watched so many animated movies, I can't remember them all. Toe was climbing the walls by the end and we were SO grateful when our return to two breathing treatments a day coincided with some lovely weather.

Needless to say, it was a long month for all of us and we are so delighted to have a healthy stint.
