Attack of the Germs

It seems like every time Michael goes TDY someone gets sick. The last time he was in England we were at the peds clinic every day for Luke. This time it's Jack. Last night we had our first ER visit. It went pretty smoothly and we were in and out in about two hours.... there was only one other family there besides us (THANK GOODNESS!!). Jack has been coughing a lot and yesterday he was wheezing and breathing very rapidly. I called the nurse advise line that we have (instead of an ER on base) and she instructed me to take Jack to the ER. The doctor listened to his lungs, said he has bronchitis and gave him a cough suppressant. I had an appt. this morning with Jack's pediatrician and it turns out he has an ear infection- along with a mild case of bronchitis. Poor little guy! We were supposed to go with Michael to England this time, but Luke's passport didn't get here in time (of course it came today because Michael left yesterday). Jack is acting pretty much like himself and doesn't seem to be bothered too much by his illness. He's such a little trooper!
