A Morning at the NC Museum of Life & Science

Our schools were on Spring Break this week so Grace's preschool was closed too. I was prepared though. Myself and several others planned a week full of activities for our toddlers and babies...and then God opened up the skies and it rained all week. Thankful for the rain, but a damper for our plans. We did have one nice, warm morning and a few of us headed out to the outdoor museum- it's kind of a mini zoo. The kids had a great time and us moms enjoyed the fellowship and watching the little ones discover new things. The day was bittersweet, however. I had taken Isaac to the doc on Monday b/c his breathing was rapid. I had to take him back on Wed as he was getting worse. Long story short he has bronchialitlis (RSV) again and this time it is a bad case. Poor little guy has been on breathing treatments every 3-4 hours and a steroid since Wed afternoon. His meds make him jittery and spastic making napping and sleeping difficult for a baby who was already having problems with those things due to coughing and wheezing. I got to lower his meds today, so he took a good nap for the first time this week and seems to be a little better. He is still wheezing so I am hoping that will go away soon and that the long-term effect of asthma will be something we never have to worry about. So anyway, we have been inside most of the week and Grace has been wonderful all things considered.
