Update 2/22

It's been a while since I've written. Apparently hospitals are still a part of our life at the moment. I took Brooklyn to the ER last Friday because she had that barking seal cough. And of course I don't hear it until 5pm Friday evening when Dr's are away and urgent care wont take anyone until they are 2, so back to the ER we went.

It turned out she did have a mild case of croup, poor little thing. She has been on steroids to help open the throat and it just makes her a little demon and not herself. She is only sleeping about 6 hours at night and then thinks it's time to party so the last couple nights I've been up at 3:30a, not fun for me! Good thing my mother in law is still here so I was able to take a long nap yesterday.

As far as Evan, he is doing really well. He's like 99% back to normal. He was back at work Monday and hasn't missed a day. I think he's glad to be back at work and getting things accomplished, laying in a hospital bed for a week really stinks! We go see the neurologist tomorrow for a follow up. He's driving, walking normal, talking normal and his vision is back. It's such a quick recovery, it's really nice to see him normal (well, as normal as he can be) :).

Now if we can only make these girls stop coughing so we can play outside. I tell ya, I have cabin fever and it aint pretty.

SO glad to hear that Evan is back to normal. Hopefully little Brooklyn will get better quickly, croup is no fun. Hang in there :)

Glad that Evan is doing better. Tell Brooklyn to get better fast-- poor little sweety.
