SICK! (In fall and winter)

We had a scare Sunday night before the eclipse where Fawkes was coughing so uncontrollably and wheezing so badly, we took him to the ER. We thought it might be our first hospital exacerbation. Ultimately, they gave him an amped up Albuterol and sent us on our way. We were there until about 4 am.  Needless to say, we were exhausted by the time we finally got home, so we all stayed home the next day and Hudson made sure to get us special NASA eclipse viewing glasses.

We had a particularly tough winter this year. Both Fawkes and I were coughing during November and took antibiotics. Then, in January I fought with advanced sinusitis and ear infection for 60 long, long days and three rounds of antibiotics and steroids. In the midst of that, Fawkes was sick too.

Now, Some of you have read how many meds Fawkes takes on a regular basis between his enzymes, zantac, vitamin, and trial drug. When he was sick we had to add antibiotics, tamiflu, and a steroid.  Apparently, this flu season was particularly bad because they only pharmacy in the DC area that had Tamiflu for us to fill was a 50 minute drive each way. So, Hudson got in the car and went and picked it up for the little guy.

I can't tell you how stressful it was everyday on Nunu and us to make sure he took everything and making him drink all that stuff. And of course, poor Fawkes didn't like taking all those medicines either. CVS, as usual was out of flavoring, I don't know how they don't keep that stuff in stock, but apparently, the Tamiflu was the worst of them all because Fawkes really hated it.  But, we finally got better in March…
