WEDNESDAY (continued). We took the boys and Tracie to the doctor in the afternoon. Unfortunately the doctor that we like wasn’t there, so we had to see a different guy. He listened to our story and looked in mouths, throats, ears and listened to chests. He said that if this infection was viral, they should be getting better by now. He said it is time to give some anti-biotics a try. He prescribed amoxicillin for Tracie and both boys. He said it should start to make a difference in 5-7 days and we should return if they are still sick. We’re hoping it helps!
Wednesday evening Ben got another temp, and the boys (again) didn’t eat much dinner. We’re worried they’re going to lose some weight. They are starting to look skinnier and feel lighter. We try lots of different foods, all their favourite foods and they barely eat anything. Tracie and the boys all have the same cough, and she says the cough makes her feel nauseous. Possibly the boys feel sick too?
THURSDAY: Everyone slept-in until 9am and we’re all feeling little better today. Still got nasty coughs, still not eating much but the boys have been playing a little more this morning.
Sal’s got to go back to work today after 5 days off caring for her family. She hopes that the boys behave for Tracie while she’s at work.
