Alex and Maddy

Alex and I are still struggling along. I am on another round of antibiotics to try and kick this bronchitis/​sinus infection. Alex is still not acting like himself and his temp dropped into the low 95's today. We are not really sure what is causing this. He isn't wanting to play or do anything except watch TV. Hopefully, he is going to turn the corner soon.

His stroller is in! We will get it on Thursday. I am very excited.

I'l​l keep you updated.

We are slowly trudging along...

We saw Dr. Benzick yesterday. He wants us to keep doping what we're doing. So we are still on continuous feeds and checking Alex's blood sugars and temperature​s a few times a day. The poor thing fell asleep sitting up yesterday and slept for 5 hours!

The case manager and nurse came by to evaluate Alex. He slept and I answered a bunch of questions. They felt pretty confident that we will qualify so that was good news.

Today, we went to the Ft. Worth Stock Show with friends. It was really cold, but we had a good time. We got to see lots of animals and feed goats and llamas. He seemed a little better today so hopefully he'll keep getting better each day.

I made the mistake last night of going to the pediatric urgent care instead of the ER. NEVER AGAIN!!

They were awful. They basically didn't do or tell me anything. They were giving me instruction​s on how to bring down a fever despite his temp being 95! We have an appt with Dr. Benzick this morning. We'll see what he has to say.

We also have our appt this afternoon for the medicaid program.
