Anyone who knows Landin knows that this is not him! He did pretty well on Monday - eating and drinking a little. Tuesday morning he woke up with fever of 101. He had coughed all night. He started throwing up and his fever went up to 103.6. I had to take him to the Doctor to make sure he wasn't bleeding. The doctor changed his antibiotic and told us to keep up with the breathing treatments. Since Tuesday he has eaten about 5 spoons of ice cream, a popsicle, 3-4 spoons of chicken broth, and about 5-6 spoons of egg drop soup. He has lost 6 pounds since Monday, and he has no desire to eat! That is definitely not him! He usually eats and eats and eats! Last night he coughed so violently that he felt like he couldn't breathe. Then he started crying which made him cough more. I spent from 12 - 4 AM sitting upright, holding him up so he didn't cough. After that I propped him up on pillows to sleep. I was giving him ibuprofen every 6 hours and breathing treatments every 4. Please pray that he will feel better soon. I can't imagine having a sore throat, throwing up, and then coughing for days.

Just not himself
Update: Landin was sent to the ER today by the doctor on call. They gave him IV fluids, IV antibiotics, and did some blood work. They let us come home tonight, but I have to check in with the doctor tomorrow. When I was putting him to bed tonight, I realized that he has a fever - again! He still isn't eating, but he did eat some ice chips tonight - yeah! Please pray that we will have a good night. Last night he was coughing, then started crying, then his lips turned purple. He freaked Amelia out, but I was able to calm him down and give him a breathing treatment. I hope tonight goes much better!
