The boys had their 2 month check-up and immunization shots appointment yesterday. Turned in to a really loooong day. The night before Holly and the boys went to my football game (we won 26-0 and are 3-0) and it seemed like Jordan started getting sick there at the field. By the time we got home he had a pretty bad sounding cough. So at the visit yesterday, Jordan got looked at first. Turns out he has bronchiolitis. Little guy is a trooper though. They gave him a breathing treatment with a nebulizer. I'd never heard of this futuristic device, but Holly has used it plenty of times in her great nanny adventures. Jordan toughed it out despite his pathetic wheezing and ugly sounding cough. He just sat there and let momma put the breathing mask on him and breathed. So with Jordan being Sicky-Poo, we had to skip on his shots.
Jeremy was looking good though. Nothing but similes and after a long wait for Jordan to get checked and then more waiting for the nurse to come back with the shots, it was finally time. First he got some stuff he got to take orally, it is supposed to taste pretty sweet, but he didn't seem to care to much for it. The next 3 were shot shots...with long needles. Jeremy was doing good and then...POKE...POKE...POKE! The nurse was really fast with the jabs and the injections and it was over in seconds. Jeremy cried out as soon as they jabbed him, but stopped really fast after the last needle and was like, "Oh, thats it? Cool man." Jeremy did get a fever from the shots later that evening, but he is doing really good.
So here are the boys vitals, percentiles in ( )s...
Jeremy: 13lb 0oz (75%) - 23.5 in (50%)
Jordan: 10lb 13oz (20%) - 23.0 in (35%)
After the docs, we drove around to go pick up our own nebulizer, then to Walgreens for the meds for the nebulizer, picked up lunch and went home. Both guys did really good last night and slept all night except for feeding time. Jordan still doesn't have a fever and hopefully won't get one. We got some more pics of him on his new nebulizer complete with a dinosaur mask. Will try and post those and other pics tonight.
Poor little guy!
