The doctor's office started appointments at 8:30, but I knew how fast they filled up so we got there at 8. We were the first there, with another patient right behind us. The waiting room filled up fast!

The check up went well and his oxygen was up even more from the day before. When we left there were kids lined out the door. We headed back to Muncie, and Will stayed with Nana for a little bit while I had lunch with the Hazelrigg's.

Will was feeling a little better, and was smiling a lot more than he had in the last few days. He stayed with Pa while Nana and I ran some errands. When we got back, Heather stopped by to drop off the best hat ever, and then I headed to bed while Will stayed up with Pa for a bit.

After Will's rough night, he stayed with Nana for a little bit while Lily napped and I ran an errand. Once I got back he napped in his car seat while Lily finished up her nap. At this point Will was coughing really bad, and he was still losing parts of his bottles. I called the doctor and they were able to get me in for a 4:30 appointment in Fishers. We were already taking Lily back so it wasn't really an extra trip, but now we were in a hurry and rushed to get both kids packed up and out the door. We got to the doctor's office right on time. Will was feeling pretty miserable, and Lily played with the decorations on the wall. The doctor checked Will's ears and right away said he had a double ear infections. They swabbed his mouth to test for RSV and swabbed his nose to test for pertussis (whooping cough). The test for RSV came back positive and we won't know about the pertussis until Monday. They also checked his oxygen and lungs, which we both good. The doctor told us that he is probably going to be coming out of the sickness soon, as RSV is usually worst on days 3-5. He got a prescription for azithromycin for his ears and said she would like for us to come back tomorrow during walk in hours to check on him again. We weren't thrilled to hear that, since we were an hour away, but we had to do what we had to do! We dropped Lily off at her house and by that time had decided that we would just stay in town for the night. Nana had not packed anything so we headed to Walgreen's to fill Will's prescription and pick up some toiletries. Once we were done there we picked up some Taco Bell and headed home. It wasn't until we were almost home that I realized we were in Nana's car and I didn't have my garage door opener! We went back to Jeremiah and Nichole's, but they couldn't find their spare keys. We then headed to Caleb and Megan's and stayed there for a little bit while we waited for Daddy to get home from work. Will was miserable - sniffing and coughing and puking and crying. We left just as Megan was pulling in. The doctor told us to get saline spray for Will's nose, and that seemed to help clear him up. Back at home I slept in Will's room so that Klif could get some sleep before work the next day.

Will was home with Daddy again and once again kept him up through the night. As soon as I got home from work he wanted to go to sleep, so I decided to go ahead and pack up and drive to Muncie so that he could sleep on the way. We headed to Nana and Pa's and Lily was there too. Will was pretty subdued that evening, and spent most of his time napping or lounging. We all went to Uncle Josh and Pa's volleyball game, and it was nice to get out for just a little bit. Lily sat next to the other kids, but not too close. When we got home I put Will in his car seat to sleep to help with his stuffiness. I think it did help him, but he was still up multiple times through the night.

Will was home with daddy today and he was up multiple times through the night. At this point we could tell that he had a pretty bad cold. His nose was stuffing up and he was still coughing. After I got home from work Pa stopped by for a little while to play with Will and he could tell that he wasn't feeling well. After Pa left I spent some time with Will before heading to bed, and Klif stayed up with him again. We started giving Will some Pedialyte to help keep him hydrated. At this point we are all a little sick with minor colds.

I picked will up from daycare after work, and I could tell right away that he wasn't feeling well. Lori said that he had definitely not been feeling well the whole time, and had been sleeping most of the day while being rocked. Much to my surprise when we got home he slept in his car seat for another 2.5 hours. He was couching quite a bit and was even spitting up some of each of his bottles. He was still happy through all of this, but we could tell he didn't feel well all day. We took it very easy and spent most of the day rocking and relaxing.

I picked Will up from daycare and he coughed throughout the day and even into the evening. He sometimes would cough so much that he would spit up part of his bottles. This continued throughout the evening, but wasn't much more than a nuisance. Once Daddy got home he took over and I headed straight to bed.

Today we had a pretty lazy day. We went out for lunch at Los Rancheros, but other than that we were home most of the day. Will was a little under the weather, but was in a good mood none the less.
