On the run - even when sick

Here's a short video from today. Jack is so cute, he tries to help me vacuum. It probably takes twice as long but he has fun. After the vacuum clip there's a short clip of him walking.

We took him to the pediatrician today. We saw the on call doc whom we've never seen before. It was a real struggle and I was very frustrated. I'll call the pulmonologist tomorrow. They switched him to Albuterol. I made them call Hopkins cardiology b/c they kept asking me if it was OK with cardiology for him to have that. I assumed they discussed all this before saying he couldn't have it. Ugh. Anyway, we left with albuterol, prednisolone (a steroid) and amoxicillin b/c his ears are 'slightly' infected. He is still trying to play but I can tell he's struggling with breathing from time to time. This sure is one heck of an infection.

Anyway, here's the video and thanks to those of you who wrote and said you hope we're all feeling better soon. I'm 95% and James is about 65%.

I hope you are feeling better. Jack is such a great helper. Wyatt was on that same steriod last week and it made him so hyper. His usually bedtime is 8pm and he was up playing until 11pm every night. Good luck:)) If you need anything, we are just a short drive away.
