Yucky Sickness

Hos has been sick off and on for the past few months.  A green booger nose is not fun.  His cough never seems to fully go away.  We have taken him to the Doc and the Doc says it is a common cold.  Japan sometimes over medicates and sometimes under medicates.  ARGH!  He is hanging in there and trying to get better.  We try to teach him good hand washing as well.

Dre has been sick for the last week and a half.  Not fun.  Last Tuesday she began to feel like 

"garbage" and then stopped eating.  I insisted that we take her to the Doc and she went.  She received an IV and then some medication.  Well she ended up going in each day there after for an IV.  I was still a little worried about her so on Saturday we took her in and they took an x ray and found out that she has pneumonia.  YIKES!!! no wonder her cough is so terrible.  Well she missed church again and I was worried so we went into a larger hospital.  Thank goodness for BIG HOSPITALS!!!  Dre was happy as they actually had soap in the bathrooms.  Yes, you read right, soap in the bathrooms.  Hahaha.  Anyway we had a  GREAT doc by the name of Tada 先生  It turns out that he lived in New York 35 years ago and was there for 3 years.  YIPEE.  His English was really quite good and so he had x ray and blood work done.  He determined that she has a type of pneumonia called Micro Plasma.  what the crap....???  So she is on two types of antibiotics and a cough suppressant as well as a Rx for her stomach.  Finally a cough suppressant with codine.  YEAH!  So on Wednesday she will go back in and get another x ray and blood work done again.  So hopefully things will be getting better.  HUGE side effect is that HOLDEN no longer gets to nurse.  HMMMMM.  sad as he now signs "please" and asks mom to nurse.  Poor little bug.  He is going to have a hard time.  So will mom and dad since they are sleeping in the same room.  We will see how it goes.  Good thing Auntie is here to help out or we would be really hating it right now.  

Also We recently found out that my nephew has cancer.  Please check out his blog.  We are all sending our positive energy that way and pray for success for him and his family.  We love them all very much.  We know that the Lord is mindful of us all.

No pictures this time since they would just be of sick people.  hehehe.

Love you all.
