Collin started getting sick yesterday. Fever, cough,runny nose, wheezing, tummy troubles. Now don't go google those symptoms because the Swine Flu is sure to be at the top of the list. Last night his breathing was so rapid and his heart raced. I was worried we'd end up in the ER in the middle of the night, definitely a place where you would be sure to go home with some sort of flu from just sitting in the waiting room.
This morning Parker had some fever too and wasn't feeling well. So he missed school I took them both to see the doctor. She said its a viral bug and should run it course and not be an issue unless they get an infection. So she examines Collin, listens to his lungs first yep there is some wheezing going on,his throat looks ok but the ears are infected! The ears that are without tubes as of recently, the ears we had looked at Friday by the ENT that he said were fine are now in need of antibiotics.
Parker looked fine with no obvious infection, he should be better tomorrow. Collin got a breathing treatment in the office and we were given prescriptions for a new inhaler and antibiotics.The doctor confirmed Collin has mild asthma and we need to keep an inhaler on hand for times like last night.
As for the injured, by 6 o'clock when football practice is over Logan comes limping out to the car. He has a reoccurring problem with his heel called Sever's disease. It has to do with the growth plate in the heel becoming inflamed from large sudden amounts of running I think maybe we should rename it to Xbox heel since he did alot of finger exercising on the xbox all summer but not so much on any other sort of workout. So we know how to help it using rest,ice, motrin but all in all it's just somethings he has to deal with to be able to play football. There isn't a risk of permanent injury from keeping up the exercise just an annoyance for him.
Speaking of football the first game is TUESDAY night!!! I am sure I will have lots of pictures to post. GO SAINTS!
